At least 170 people were detained during Sunday protest actions in the center of Paris. Demonstrations of supporters of the movement of "yellow vests" and other activists who oppose the policies of the French authorities, were held on the day of the 230th anniversary of the capture of the Bastille. After the parade on the Champs Elysées, protesters clashed with police officers who used batons and tear gas. Some demonstrators tried to erect barricades on the carriageway and burned trash.
