Clashes broke out between protesters and police in central Paris as thousands came out across France on Tuesday, May 17, to once again demonstrate against changes in the labour law. Last week, French Prime Minister Manuel Valls announced that government would bypass parliament to impose the reform through a rarely used clause in the constitution, despite widespread protests.

According to a Le Figaro reporter at the scene, police retaliated with tear gas as protesters hurled projectiles and fireworks at them. Credit: Twitter/@LucasArland
