PARIS (AP) — Several protests against President Emmanuel Macron’s plan to raise France’s retirement age have taken place in Paris and beyond. Largely nonviolent protests took place in several French cities as uncollected rubbish piled up amid a strike by sanitation workers. In Marseille, protesters outmaneuvered the police to occupy the main train station for around 15 minutes. In the eastern city of Besancon, hundreds of protesters burned voting cards. But an eerie calm returned to the French capital after two consecutive nights of riots. Police have banned any more gatherings at the Place de la Concorde, where protesters threw an effigy of Macron onto a bonfire on Friday. They met in a different plaza on Saturday.
