Thousands of demonstrators took to the streets, and union workers went on strike across France on Tuesday to protest government plans to overhaul the country’s labor regulations.
The rallies were the first major protests faced by President Emmanuel Macron, and they will test how he and his government respond to opposition to his plans to revamp the French economy.
Mr. Macron, however, was nowhere near the protests. He arrived in the Caribbean on Tuesday to visit the French islands of St. Martin and St. Barthélemy, after they were hit by Hurricane Irma last week.
Protests took place in Lyon, Nantes, Paris, Toulouse and a dozen other cities, led by unions and left-wing parties who say that worker rights are being watered down by the overhaul of the French labor code, which is known as the Code du Travail.
