The main trade unions that are against the government's project to reform the retirement pension scheme have called for demonstrations all over France. 

In Paris, the main gathering will start from République. Demonstrators will gather there late morning for a departure time set for 13:30. They will then head towards Place Saint Augustin through boulevard Magenta, rue Lafayette and rue du Châteaudun.

As always, we urge you to avoid the areas around the demonstration.
