STORYLINE:
Violence erupted at a demonstration in Paris on Tuesday as hundreds of thousands took to the streets across France to protest the government''s new employment law.
The protest in Paris started peacefully but clashes later broke out between riot police and demonstrators.
Youths pelted police with stones, fighting and using metal bars to break up chunks of paving that they hurled at riot police.
Riot officers charged several times, making arrests and driving away troublemakers.
The otherwise largely peaceful Paris march drew 84,000 people, while 944,000 marched in other parts of the country, police said.
Union organisers put the figure in the capital at 700,000 - and three million nationwide.
It was the second time in a week that unions and student groups had succeeded in mobilising such numbers.
Students have led the outcry against the ``first jobs contract,'''' the main sticking point in the new jobs law, but unions have thrown their support behind the young protesters out of fear that the measure will erode coveted job security.
The government of Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin prescribed the new law as a way to combat chronic youth unemployment - cited by many officials as one of the causes behind a wave of rioting across the country last fall.
