The November 7 demonstration comes amid a wider wave of protests across France, with workers, students and unions demanding action over wages, purchasing power and public services.

In Paris, the main union-backed march is scheduled to move from Place de la République to Place de la Nation along Boulevard Voltaire. A separate Yellow Vests gathering has also been called at Place de la Concorde, despite being banned by authorities.

The demonstrations come just days after a major nationwide strike on November 5, highlighting continuing public anger over living costs and government spending priorities.
