Dozens of French farmers on Saturday forced open an entrance gate to an agricultural show in Paris as part of their protests against European Union green policies and other measures that they say are hitting their bottom line.
Clashes broke out with riot police who were trying to restrain the farmers.
Many of them shouted and booed, calling for the resignation of French President Emmanuel Macron.
Reuters news agency reported that at least one person was arrested at the fair, which runs for nine days and attracts around 600,000 visitors.
