There were 3,500 in Paris, , although protester figures always show a higher number due to variations in counting methods.

This weekend, some protesters said there were 50,000 more people present compared to official figures.

Saturday April 5 marked the fifth consecutive month of protests since the movement began in November 2018. It comes three days after the 鈥渁nti-vandalism鈥� law intended to prohibit violent protests and impose stricter sanctions on violent individuals, was blocked.

It also comes two days before the first conclusions from contributions to President Emmanuel Macron鈥檚 Grand D茅bat National are set to be drawn.

In Paris, 43 people were arrested, alongside 14,919 on-site reprimands, and nine verbal warnings regarding protests in areas that police said had not been authorised.

脡ric Drouet, one of the so-called 鈥渓eaders鈥� of the movement, received a caution for allegedly being in a forbidden protest area, near the Champs-脡lys茅es; a claim that his lawyer has denied.

In Rouen, protests turned aggressive after a relatively-calm start.

Rubbish bins were set on fire, a building was damaged, and a construction vehicle was set alight by a group of people dressed in black. Tear gas was used against some protesters, and the movement was prevented from entering the town centre.

Elsewhere, there were protests and some clashes in most major towns and cities, including Lyon, Dijon, Nice, Nantes, Montpellier, Bordeaux and Toulouse.

A number of towns have taken out decrees banning protests in the town centre, including Auxerre (Yonne, Bourgogne-Franche-Comt茅) and Bourg-en-Bresse (Ain, Auvergne-Rh么ne-Alpes).

In Saint-Nazaire, around 500 gilets jaunes protesters have gathered - from Friday 5 to Sunday 7 - to hold the second 鈥渁ssembl茅e des assembl茅es (assembly of meetings)鈥�.

This saw working groups and others join together to focus on 鈥渋nternal and external communication...in the face of repression...and reprisals鈥�.
