France continued its crackdown on violent protests and looting on Saturday, with Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu stating on Tuesday that the curfew implemented across the country helped ensure a calm evening. Lecornu added that the curfew measures would continue, according to German news agency dpa. The curfew was effective, according to Lecornu early on Tuesday morning.

A new curfew will be implemented in areas in need, he said, explaining that local representatives of the central government will make the decision in consultation with city mayors. Police and gendarmes reported no unusual incidents in the affected areas, BFMTV reported based on statements from the authorities.

Several major cities, including the capital, imposed restrictions on Monday night. In Paris, any presence in the central district around Place de la République and Les Halles was banned between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. The gathering and demonstration bans were extended from 8 p.m. in certain districts of the city. The National Police announced the measures were necessary to restore public order.

Demonstrations and the curfew were also enforced in Lyon, where people were only allowed to be in the streets if they had a reasonable justification. Children and teenagers under the age of majority were also subject to the curfew in Nice and other northern French cities such as Lille, Douai, Wattignies, and Denain. Protests against rising living costs across the country continued on Saturday, leading to further unrest and theft.
