There were protests in Paris and several other cities in France on Saturday as people objected to new regulations introduced to contain the coronavirus pandemic, even as case numbers rise.
The protests were covered by local media, including the Franceinfo television channel and other outlets.
There were scuffles on the edges of the protest in Paris, which police quelled with tear gas, according to BFM television news channel.
Last week, some 114,000 people nationwide took to the streets to protest against the measures, according to the Interior Ministry.
The French government has introduced stricter regulations as case numbers soar in the country. France is battling a fourth wave of infections, according to Prime Minister Jean Castex.
On Friday, the National Assembly, the lower house of parliament, had approved a bill to extend a requirement that people show that they have either tested negative for the virus, been vaccinated or recovered for access to certain venues.
Lawmakers also approved the compulsory vaccination of health workers.
