(9 Mar 2019) French riot police used water cannon and fired tear gas on yellow-vested protesters in Paris on Saturday afternoon, the 17th straight weekend of anti-government demonstrations.
As during previous demonstrations by the movement, the protest began at the Arc de Triomphe, at the top of the famed avenue, looped through both sides of the Seine River before ending at the top of Luxembourg Gardens on the Left Bank.
