Thousands of “yellow vest” demonstrators marched Saturday through Paris and other French cities for a ninth straight weekend to protest against President Emmanuel Macron’s economic policies, and repeated tensions broke out between protesters and police. /VCG Photo
Protesters walked peacefully through central Paris from the Finance Ministry in the east to the Arc de Triomphe monument in the west. At the end of the march, police used tear gas, water cannon and flash-balls to push back people throwing rocks and other objects at them. /VCG Photo
Groups of protesters also gathered on and around the Grands Boulevards shopping area in northern Paris, close to where a massive gas explosion in a bakery killed three people. /VCG Photo
The French Interior Ministry said more than 100 people had been arrested in Paris and other cities, including 82 who were kept in police custody, primarily for carrying potential weapons or taking part in violence. /VCG Photo
