Dozens of students gathered outside the Louvre Museum in Paris on Monday and attempted to block access, extending a wave of protests that also included the Yellow Vest movement, according to France 24. Al Jazeera reported that students were blockading the museum in support of a broader French student movement.

Ahead of demonstrations planned for Saturday, the Louvre and two other major museums were set to close. French authorities planned to deploy 70,000 officers, according to the Associated Press. Businesses were also boarding up in preparation for another round of unrest, Fox News reported, while The New York Times said authorities had banned some protests following riots.

France 24 reported that calls were spreading on social media for additional demonstrations on October 24 and 31. Separately, Bloomberg reported that President Emmanuel Macron had pledged to overhaul university admissions.
