Protesters across France marched against a health pass regulation imposed by President Emmanuel Macron to travel between cities and enter restaurants and cafés.
From Monday, the health pass will enter into force, requiring citizens across the country to be fully vaccinated or provide negative PCR tests to travel between cities and on domestic flights and high-speed trains.
The regulation will continue until November 15, as the country fights a fourth wave of the Covid-19 epidemic.
Protesters say the bill will limit civil liberties as they marched today in cities including Toulon, Nice and Marseille in thousands.
The interior ministry said over 200,000 people protested last weekend and more than 160,000 the weekend before, AFP reported.
Nearly 55 percent of the population is now fully vaccinated. The French government wants 50 million people to be at least given one shot by the end of August.
