Paris returned to calm on Tuesday after its first quiet night since a weekend marred by France's worst rioting in years, as authorities imposed curfews in several cities in an effort to prevent another round of rioting and looting.
At least 2,400 people were arrested after rioters in cities across France on Saturday clashed with police, set cars on fire, stormed public buildings and engulfed a historic city hall in flames, during nationwide protests against rising living costs and poor conditions in schools.
