Nationwide protests were held across France on Labour Day as President Emmanuel Macron’s retirement age reforms continued to unleash a wave of social unrest. Police fired tear gas in Paris and the western city of Nantes to disperse the gathered demonstrators. In Paris, Extinction Rebellion activists threw paint over the glass-fronted facade of the Louis Vuitton Foundation and paving stones outside the Ritz Hotel.
