Gilets Jaunes - Acte X take to the streets of Paris. CRS Riot police fire tear gas and shoot a water canon at a hard core of agitators intent on disrupting events at the end of the march. An estimated 7,000 people took part in the looping 14 km route from Place des Invalides to protest tax hikes from the Government of Emmanuel Macron imposed on the people. An estimated 80,000 people took part in protests across the country. Regrettably the movement has attracted a violent element of agitators who often face off with riot police at the end of the marches which tends to deflect attention away from the message of the vast majority of peaceful protesters.<br />
