The political crisis engulfing French President Emmanuel Macron is showing no signs of easing, as Paris is preparing for more weekend protests by the so-called "yellow vests" movement.
The planned demonstrations come despite the government scrapping a controversial fuel tax hike, which sparked the initial rallies.
However, there is a general sense of anger towards Macron's government, which has led to recent protests turning violent.
Demonstrators have also been taking issue with other reforms proposed by the president.
Major tourist attractions in Paris, including the Eiffel Tower is to close this weekend, along with many shops and restaurants.
Thousands more police will be on duty nationwide and armored vehicles will also be deployed in the capital in case of rioting.
