lawn near the racecourse in the Redon region of northwestern France has been devastated by tear gas and Molotov cocktails.
Local time Last Friday night, police clashed with attendees as they disbanded an outdoor party.
In the aftermath of the Corona 19 quarantine, curfew measures were imposed in this area from 11 pm, but as the number of participants exceeded 1,500, many did not comply with the request to disperse.
