In Paris, tens of thousands of people gathered in the Place de la République and marched through eastern Paris.
From Paris to Toulouse, some 300,000 people took to the streets of France on Saturday urging voters to block the country’s far-right party from gaining a majority in the upcoming parliament elections.
The elections will be held in a two-round vote on June 30 and July 7.
Protesters are demonstrating against far-right leaders Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella, both of whom hold hard-line views on immigration, after their National Rally party made historic gains in European elections last weekend.
If the elections result in their favor, it would also be the first time France would have a far-right government since World War II.
