The Yellow Vests  protests continue for a 27th week in Paris where protest remains restricted at key locations like the presidential palace, the Champs-Elysees, and the Notre Dame Cathedral.

And the protests also continue nationwide with organizers pointing to major, national protests in Reims and Nancy in the east.

This usually means the yellow jackets will be outnumbered by black uniformed anarchists coming for confrontations with police and or damaging property.    This could happen in one or both of those cities Saturday.

Many peaceful protests in the hundreds are expected to manifest themselves across France on Saturday.
