<p>Security forces in riot gear were positioned around central railway stations and along the famous Champs-Elysees boulevard, where shops were closed and boarded up in anticipation of the protests.</p>
<p>Last weekend, groups of demonstrators smashed and looted stores and set up burning barricades in the streets.</p>
<p>There was a strong police presence outside the central Saint Lazare station, where police in riot gear checked bags for helmets and other potential signs of trouble.</p>
<p>More than 20 police vans and a water cannon truck were nearby.</p>
