Riots sparked by the death of a teenager in Paris who was shot dead by police during a traffic stop has spread to cities in Switzerland and Belgium - but the streets of France were eerily quiet on Sunday evening.
The alleged 'execution' of Nahel Merzouk, 17, who was of Algerian and Moroccan descent, has fuelled days of arrest and forced President Emmanuel Macron to hold crisis talks on Sunday night.
Some regions have banned the sale of fireworks and restricted street access in a bid to curb the ongoing unrest - and there are 45,000 extra police have been placed on the streets in French cities and towns.
However, the streets of in the Paris suburb of Nanterre - where Nahel was shot dead - was 'very calm' as he compared it to an ordinary Sunday, a police source told Le Parisien.
Marseille, which saw police fire teargas rioters on Saturday night as youths lit fires in the city centre, was also relatively calm.
Protests had spread to the Swiss city of Lausanne in the early hours of Sunday, where Molotov cocktails were used, bricks thrown at police and shop windows smashed.
'Echoing the events and riots raging in France, more than a hundred youths gathered in central Lausanne and damaged businesses,' said a Lausanne police statement.
There have also been arrests in Brussels following similar disturbances, with rioters in Brussel chanting 'Justice for Nahel'.
After the riots in Lausanne, seven people - aged 15-17 and one aged 24 - were arrested last night, according to Swiss newspaper reports.
The Nahel's grandmother said today she wanted the nationwide rioting triggered by his killing to end.
She said the rioters were using Nahel's death last Tuesday as an excuse to cause havoc and that the family wanted calm.

The Swiss sold their independence and neutrality to Brussels and the USA 20 years ago, for some woke beans and the ability to play on Wall Street.
So sad to see them reaping the consequences.

Less then a year ago, 12 year old Lola Daviet was violently sexually assaulted, killed, stuffed into a suitcase and left in a carpet in a Paris building by an Algerian immigrant, there was no riots for her, no mass protests in the cities and no outrage by politicians, no mention.I’m
Macron was so concerned that he went to a Elton John concert.
I’ll bet they haven’t spread to Warsaw or Budapest.
“The Nahel’s grandmother said today she wanted the nationwide rioting triggered by his killing to end.”
‘Grandma’ got her payday.
In earlier times I would’ve said, ‘Y’all LISTEN to your Grandma!’
Those days are long gone. And when ‘Grandma’ can be bought off, we’re all sunk, no matter where we live on this Earth. :(
And when the smoke clears these ungrateful rapefugees will complain that their ghettos are in ruins and demand the French, whom they hate with a red hot passion, fix up their burned out infrastructure.
The little angel, that was "executed", is their george floyd.
A convenient excuse to cause mayhem in the name of "racial justice" or, in truth "the neo marxist revolution".
France let in thousands of Africans to counter early retirements in the auto industry and related. Then the plants moved overseas and france is stuck with thousands of stupid Muslims who are a drag on the economy. Of course, they riot.
And based on all the follow up reporting (which has been practically none) the perp was not white.
Worst part? Give it a few years and then all they have to do is vote.
This is not a protest! It is a takeover by murdering animals who hate everyone ! A Trojan horse under the guise of refugee acceptance! Coming to America….
I’m angered that the streets in Paris aren’t strewn with bodies of terrorists. They should have been shot! Then deportations. Dump their corpses over Algeria.
I’ve seen that movie before. Next, coming to a country near you....
Those silly globalist elites....
