What happened

French police detained at least 272 people as demonstrations across France turned violent, the Interior Ministry said.

About 33,000 people joined around 140 protests nationwide, according to the ministry.

In Paris, protesters set fire to a car and a newsstand, while police used tear gas and water cannon on aggressive groups.

Protesters damaged shops and a municipal police station in Marseille and briefly entered the city hall lobby, Ukrinform reported.

A fire broke out at Lyon’s tourist office, while police reported overturned cars, broken windows and attempted looting.

Students organised many of the demonstrations over school conditions and police violence, while the CGT union backed calls for higher wages and pensions.
