France will deploy about 70,000 police nationwide ahead of planned weekend protests. The move follows some of the worst urban violence in years, which broke out a week ago on the sidelines of earlier demonstrations.
Large protests and heavy police presence can disrupt public transport, shops, and travel plans for residents and visitors alike. Unrest in France often affects daily routines far beyond the protest sites.
Watch for official updates on protest locations and transport disruptions through the weekend.
