Stores and restaurants in Paris closed in anticipation of protests, leading to the shutdown of the Louvre and other cultural institutions for the day. The French capital braced itself for another wave of demonstrations.
On Saturday morning, police officers were stationed at the Place de la Bastille as part of a substantial security operation. The government mobilized an extensive force to manage the new cycle of protests, with a firm commitment to avoid the turmoil seen the previous weekend.
Over 70,000 police officers, supported by some military personnel, were deployed throughout Paris, Marseille, and other cities. Drones and helicopters monitored the gatherings as protesters returned to the streets.
