## Summary

The Foreign Office has advised UK visitors to France to be cautious this weekend, as protesters plan new demonstrations dubbed “Act II”. The warning follows weeks of unrest over public services and rising living costs, with marches and protests escalating into looting and riots in several cities last weekend.

The Yellow Vest movement plans to march in Paris from Place de la Bastille at 2pm on Saturday, while student groups have also called for rallies. President Emmanuel Macron said demonstrations deemed illegitimate would be banned; 2,700 arrests have been made since last Saturday. The Foreign Office says protests may disrupt transport or lead to local curfews, and advises visitors to avoid large crowds and follow local guidance. A British woman was reportedly badly injured by a projectile during protests in Toulouse.
