Just arrived in Paris for more yellow vest protests this weekend.
My cab driver says this is a revolution like “the king [Louis XVI] and the guillotine” then made a head chopping gesture.

Hearing yellow vests in Bordeaux will be bigger and more intense than Paris tomorrow.
Tempted to take a train down in the morning but it’s a tough call.

Just heard a huge explosion and shattering glass in paris #acteIX #GiletsJaunes
Destruction for blocks after an explosion on rue de trévise 
Lots of injuries, heard screaming like some were still trapped. First responders have arrived.
To be clear, there’s no info right now about the origin of the explosion, I added it to my yellow vest thread by reflex as I was on my way to champs elysees when I heard it.
Hearing reports it was a gas leak, would make sense because a fire truck was already there when I arrived. See footage from the moment I turned the corner here:

Just followed a massive march of #GiletsJaunes to Arc de Triomphe. Lots of chanting, singing, high spirits.
Volleying of tear gas back and forth as usual #acteIX
Police have been using water canons to push back the yellow vests #GiletsJaunes #acteIX
Took a water canon straight to the camera 😐 that’s going to make for some interesting footage.
