French protests resume under tight security, with a march in Orléans

Deployed across France

70,000 police and gendarmes

More than 70,000 police and gendarmes are deployed after looting overshadowed last week's protests against the cost of living.

Several thousand marchers walked through Orléans at midday, where the National Rally holds its congress. The mayor set a night curfew for children under 15 until Monday morning.

What's next

President Emmanuel Macron met high school student representatives on Friday, and his office promised "concrete decisions" on Monday.
