Police in Paris have used tear gas and water cannon to disperse protesters who are furious over rising fuel costs.
Demonstrations and road blockades have been planned nationwide as the “yellow vest” protests enter a second weekend. They have been named after the fluorescent jackets worn by protesters, which motorists must keep in their cars by law.
In the capital, hundreds descended on the Champs Elysee, where officers stopped them from advancing to the presidential palace nearby.
