Paris is extending a nightly curfew in parts of the city until Monday, and Marseille and Lyon are banning all protests this weekend, according to the BBC. France 24 and CBS News also reported on the curfews.

The curfew covers the Place de la République and the Les Halles shopping area, the BBC reported. It runs from 11 PM to 6 AM, France 24 said.

The Louvre, Orsay and Picasso museums in Paris will close on Saturday, when more protests are expected, the BBC reported.

In other places, only union marches will be allowed on Saturday, President Emmanuel Macron said, according to the BBC.

"The general recommendation is that there should be no demonstrations," Macron said, according to the BBC.

France is still recovering from riots and looting last weekend, the BBC said. The protests began over the high cost of living and school conditions, the BBC and CBS News reported.

Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin said 2,700 people had been arrested across France, the BBC reported Thursday. That is the latest figure available. CBS News had reported on October 20 that more than 2,500 people were in custody.

Police deployments will rise by 20% from last weekend, an Interior Ministry official said, according to the BBC.

Public transport in Marseille will stop on Saturday, the BBC reported. More than 500 businesses there were damaged last weekend, it said.

The protests began in mid-September with students and teachers near Paris, CBS News reported on October 20. They grew to include unions and Yellow Vest activists, CBS said.

A student march in Paris went ahead Thursday after a court overturned a police ban, France 24 reported.
