Police used tear gas in Lyon, France, as fresh protests unfolded. In Paris, the Louvre and other major museums closed, while businesses boarded up storefronts ahead of the demonstrations. The nationwide deployment follows a weekend that left shops damaged and raised questions about the government’s handling of the unrest.
