Large protests are underway across France, with over 100 people arrested and police firing tear gas at a demonstration in Lyon on Saturday. The protests, involving students and Yellow Vests, include calls for President Macron's resignation. Demonstrators cite grievances such as poor school conditions, while authorities have deployed over 70,000 security personnel nationwide. Business owners in several cities have boarded up storefronts to prevent a repeat of last weekend's riots and looting. Museums in Paris, including the Louvre, are closed as a precaution.
