On November 14, 2026, Act V of the mobilizations against the cost of living led to about ten actions in Lorraine and rallies in Reims, Angers, Paris, Nantes, and Lyon. In Paris, the first protesters arrived at Bastille; the prefecture counted 46,000 participants in the capital, while the youth inter-union claimed 200,000 protesters across France and the Ministry of the Interior counted 106,000. In Marseille and Montpellier, thousands of people protested despite prefectural bans, with clashes and six arrests in Montpellier; in Bordeaux, clashes erupted at Place de la Victoire after a parade that had started peacefully. Twelve CRS officers were injured in an accident on the A6B highway in Villejuif, and in Loire-Atlantique, the prefecture reported intrusions into restricted zones and 29 arrests.
