Tens of thousands of participants are expected in the Parisian procession, which will leave at 2 p.m. from the Place de l’Opéra to that of the Bastille.
AT a few steps away, boulevard Beaumarchais, the window of the Harley-Davidson store is still strewn with impacts. “We are literally attacked with crowbars, hammers, ice picks“, denounces Christophe, the manager. He assures him moreover: on days of demonstrations, he is forced to close shop two hours earlier than planned, which constitutes a real shortfall for him, especially since his clientele is made up mainly of tourists.”You have a lot of tourists who don’t understand what’s going on. All Anglo-Saxons are frightened. In particular, I am asked if we were shot at on the window. You can come by at 4 p.m. and it was like that the previous times…“, he regrets.
