According to the prosecution, at 6 a.m., 81 people were in police custody, including Jérôme Rodrigues, one of the faces of the "yellow vests" movement, and active support of anti-pass convoys.
He was placed in police custody for "organizing a prohibited demonstration and participating in a group formed with a view to committing violence", according to a judicial source.
In a tweet, the police headquarters added "maintain its device this Sunday" to prevent demonstrators from anti-pass convoys from blocking the capital
A hundred motorhomes were in the Bois de Boulogne, said a police source.
220 vehicles spent the night in Seine-et-Marne and 120 in Val-d'Oise, according to the same source.
The watchword of the organizers of the anti-pass convoys is to take the road around 10 a.m. to reach Brussels where a large rally is planned for Monday.
But, according to a police source, not all participants should follow this order.
At the beginning of the afternoon on Saturday, more than a hundred vehicles had managed to reach the Champs-Elysées, which were gradually evacuated by the police with tear gas.

A heterogeneous gathering of opponents of President Emmanuel Macron, the vaccine pass and "yellow vests", those who call themselves "freedom convoys" have been formed on the model of the mobilization which is currently paralyzing the Canadian capital Ottawa.
More than 7,000 members of the police have been mobilized by the Paris police headquarters from Friday to Monday, the anti-pass convoys having planned to reach Brussels on Monday.
