A Reuters reporter saw cobble stones being thrown at the police,
who charged to break up groups of protesters.
The demonstration was across the river Seine from parliament,
where Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne earlier on Thursday announced
her government would push through the reform using a special
constitution clause, as her minority government could not get the
necessary backing from the opposition conservative Les Republicains
party.
