Paris was in lockdown early on Saturday with 'thousands' of French security forces braced to meet renewed rioting by "yellow vest" protesters in the capital and other cities in a fourth weekend of confrontation.....
The Eiffel Tower and other tourist landmarks were shut, shops were boarded up to avoid looting and street furniture removed to avoid metal bars from being used as projectiles.
About 89,000 police were deployed across the country.

Keep us posted on what you see! Safe travels.
While Hitler was sacking Czechoslovakia and Poland he was giving Better Homes a tour of his Berghoff.
That’s the ticket.
Clamp down even harder on the protesting citizens.
That will convince them that you are right and deserve to stay in power. They’ll be sure to quiet down after that.
Right?
The Paris Agreement isn’t working out so well for Paris. Protests and riots all over France. People do not want to pay large sums of money, much to third world countries (that are questionably run), in order to maybe protect the environment. Chanting “We Want Trump!” Love France.

Uh oh, looks like Frexit is being mentioned. That’s gonna really PO the PTB...
This is your future in our America, Leftist Millennials. Shortly from that point on, YOU will go from being “the puppet” to “absolutely oppressed”. Oh, and there is no turning back. Think about it!
Note to self....Take France off of all foreseeable vacation spots.
Wiki does mention the Franco-Prussian War. I also believe the Legion was utilized in the suppression of the Paris Commune at the close of that war.

This isn’t going to go over well...
#MantesLaJolie Ah, au fait : pendant les gardes à vue, des policiers ont interrogé des mineurs sans avocat (c’est illégal). Et ils ont mis mensongèrement dans le procès-verbal qu’un avocat était là (faux en écriture). #lyceensencolere #GiletsJaunes https://t.co/WkAmxxL3XA
Minors are being taken into custody and questioned without lawyers present. And the cops/military are lying about doing it.
In the days that I was in the NG, our rating on anti-riot agents was, from mildest to strongest: smoke, CN, CS, and a combination of CN and CS. We didn’t have ‘pepper’ spray/gas, but if we had, it would have fitted in between smoke and CN. The combination of CN/CS was the most dangerous because it could cause an allergic reaction which made it very difficult to breathe. Multiple exposures to CS could also cause allergic reactions, mostly to exposed skin.
Phosgene is a WWI poison gas, extremely lethal, and I cannot imagine any Government I ever served or worked for using it on their own citizens International treaties forbid its use in war. If someone deploys phosgene, you will know because there will be dead bodies all over the place.
No ability to afford health care, stolen elections, political censorship, borders open to hostile invaders by the millions, rising prices and yet we sit in front of our TV/PC screens fat and complacent.
because conservatives are apatheticand make up reasons for staying home
Yes it looks like the old Cadillac - Gage 100 series, but there are a number of designs from more recently which look just like it, on the outside (e.g. the 1990s Dragoon). Still more effective than an unarmored police vehicle, especially if shooting starts.
This is a mixed protest.
It started over the gas tax, but now includes a wide variety of groups, from FREXIT supporters to ANTIFA pro-communists.
Many are similar to what we saw in Sweden where the citizens want social programs only for citizens, not diluted to pay for the migrants.
Some want a more democratic and capitalistic system, but they are a very small minority.
This is not “anti-Macron” as the title says....it is anti-everything and pro-anarchy. This is how despots get to power, by rising up on the backs of diverse agendas to lead everyone to stability.
