Paris Police Department said, besides arrests, 140 people were fined for participating in the demonstration without permission.
Meanwhile, protesters clashed with the police in Bordeaux. Police used tear gas and plastic bombs to disperse demonstrators. Some protesters broke windows of some restaurants and banks.
