- The nationwide marches protested the high cost of living; the CGT estimated that 500,000 people took part.
- The marches were largely peaceful; masked youths looted and clashed with police on the sidelines.
- Police used tear gas and water cannon in Paris and other cities; more than 130 people were arrested.
- A police source told AFP that a protester in Saint-Étienne lost his hand to a police crowd-control grenade.
