Thousands of French yellow vest protesters held an action in Paris on Saturday, and scuffles broke out between police and protesters near the Arc de Triomphe.

Protesters started throwing bottles and rocks, while security forces used tear gas, RIA Novosti reported.

The yellow vest protest actions started in France on November 17, and the demonstrators opposed fuel tax increases. Despite the authorities' measures to calm down the situation, protesters continue their actions throughout the country.
