Thousands march in Paris to protest high living costs in France

Thousands of protesters gathered in Paris on Saturday, demonstrating to music played by an orchestra and cheering while holding placards against the high cost of living and in support of the student-led protest movement.

Saturday's protest marked the fourth consecutive weekend demonstration in the French capital, but seemed smaller than previous demonstrations, including a nationwide day of protests and strikes on Thursday that saw at least 600,000 people take to the streets across France.

"It's important to continue until we are heard, because the longer this lasts, the more it will allow us to show the importance of all that we are trying to say. So we will not stop until we win," protester Flora Tavernier said.

Police maintained heavy presence across the country on Saturday, with 70,000 officers deployed in demonstrations in France. Unions and other protest organizers have called for a new day of protests on Tuesday.
