The French really know how to protest. And there's no end in sight, apparently.

French President Emmanuel Macron's government will meet with the "Gilets Jaunes" demonstrators, or the "Yellow Vests" after reports that security forces fired over 12,000 canisters of tear gas at protestors who sacked parts of the French capital in scenes of violence that shocked Paris over the weekend.
Macron was taken to the Arc de Triomphe on Sunday, the scene of the worst violence, upon his return from the G20 summit in Argentina.
The Prime Minister Edouard Philippe is being sent to meet protest organisers and party leaders as part of a "constant wish for dialogue," the Elysee Palace said.
Environment Minister Francois de Rugy met representatives of the "yellow vests" last week but failed to convince them to end the protests, Agence France Presse reported on Sunday night.
