Yellow Vests are now marching in Paris in the 9th Arrondissement of Paris.....30 arrests reported in Paris as of 11 am local time

The notion of a protest at Versailles today was changed with the announcement of this protest placed online at 9am local time by activist Eric Drouet, who had earlier called for the protest at Versailles.

Authorities had closed train stations to prevent people from using trains to reach Versailles from Paris.
