In one clip, you can see tourists pushing their luggage through the streets, as demonstrators kick gas cannisters away from them.
Another clip shows a couple calmly drinking and smoking at a cafe as fires roar in the background. Nothing says romantic Parisian getaway quite like this.
The protests initially began with a student movement, as high schoolers demonstrated over poor school conditions, teacher shortages, and crappy facilities.
The movement seems to have spread to people protesting the immense cost of living and insufficient public services … and demonstrators even blocked the Louvre.
City Hall in Limoges went up in flames, the tourist office in Lyon was torched, and City Hall in Marseille ended up covered in graffiti … as demonstrators sent their message.
Over the weekend, President Trump weighed in — blaming the unrest on immigration policies and urging France to close their borders.
