The French government said rioting and violence were more subdued in the fifth night of unrest since a police officer killed a teenager in a suburb northwest of Paris.
The police arrested 427 people overnight, down from more than 1,300 the night before. The government deployed 45,000 officers across the nation to try to curb the violence, which resulted in ransacked shops and damaged buildings.
The unrest poses a political risk for French President Emmanuel Macron, who canceled a state visit to Germany that was supposed to start Sunday so he could deal with the domestic situation. Earlier in the week, Macron called on parents and social medial to help bring an end to the violence.
