In Paris, Lyon, and Lille, local authorities have imposed bans on demonstrations following violent protests on October 17. In Paris, gatherings are prohibited in key areas from 8 AM to 8 PM, including around the Élysée Palace and popular tourist spots. The police prefecture canceled a planned student protest due to previous violence. Lyon has a complete ban on demonstrations, especially at Place Bellecour, where significant unrest occurred, leading to a curfew. Similar restrictions are in place in Lille and Grenoble, with bans extending to other cities like Le Havre and Rouen. Authorities aim to prevent further violence after recent riots.
