The first visible sign of the protest was when some in the crowd who began to jeer and offered up boos as President Emmanuel Macron reviewed troops in Paris near the Champs-Elysees Sunday morning.

They displayed yellow balloons and in some cases yellow clothing as police had seized Yellow Vests as spectators entered a security zone around the holiday ceremonies in the center of the city.
Later after the parade a full fledged protest on the Champs-Elysees with fires started and metal barriers toppled onto the street, the apparent work of the "black blocs" of anarchists.
Now we come to Week 36 of the protest in the summertime, in the vacation season in France.
