France will impose new curfews wherever authorities deem necessary, Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu said Tuesday, citing the success of restrictions in maintaining calm overnight. Curfews were already in force in Paris, Nice, and central Lyon after a tourist office was set on fire during Saturday protests. Paris restrictions applied in République Square and Châtelet-les-Halles, while Nice and several northern towns limited curfews to unaccompanied minors. More than 2,000 people were arrested during Saturday's violent protests against rising inflation, according to Interior Minister Laurent Nunez. Clashes broke out nationwide, with looters stripping goods from dozens of shops.
