FRANCE LATEST:  YELLOW VESTS AT VERSAILLES TOMORROW, POLICE PLAN TO BOX THEM IN


Yellow Vests protests are expected tomorrow in Versailles, an historic place in France associated with the French Revolution.

Authorities have decided to close the Palace of Versailles and to create a perimeter in which protests will be allowed tomorrow.   They plan to box in any Yellow Vests that show up.

Yellow Vests figure Eric Drouet, accused by authorities for comments he made on television several weeks ago, called on social media for protesters to gather in Versailles tomorrow.

The prefecture of Yvelines, where the protest is to take place, said the perimeter will keep the protesters from the area of the Palace of Versailles.

The police will also stop protesters for preventive detention and or confiscation of items they may be carrying.

In an obvious attempt to deter the arrival of protesters in the area, railway stations will be closed in the area to prevent anyone traveling into Versailles from the direction of Paris.
