French police use tear gas and water cannons at protests in Lyon, Lille, Toulouse, Nantes, and Nice

French police intervened in protests across multiple cities on Saturday, deploying tear gas in Lyon, Lille, Toulouse, Nantes, and Nice, with water cannons also used in the latter two cities. The nationwide demonstrations follow last week's unrest, prompting the government to mobilize a large police force. Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez warned he would not accept "any expression of violence or disorder." In Paris, a major march was relocated at the last minute to a site further from the center, drawing a large crowd despite demonstrators' displeasure. The march reached its endpoint at Porte de Vincennes without major incidents reported.
