Hundreds of people gathered in the afternoon on the terraces of Place Sainte-Anne, as well as in the adjacent streets. Among these, the rue Saint-Michel, which has many bars, earning it the name of “rue de la thirst”.
Pallet fires
In addition, several hundred revelers braved the 9 p.m. hourly limit, a new curfew, forcing firefighters to intervene to put out a pallet fire, and police to use tear gas in response to projectile fire.
“There was a pallet fire around 9.45pm, with people who had returned to the church site and climbed onto sheds, requiring the intervention of the police. It lasted an hour “, said a duty officer from the Rennes police station.
Thursday morning, Prime Minister Jean Castex launched from Blois a “Call to responsibility” of the French, in the face of the enthusiasm of the public who gathered on the terraces for their reopening.
