Thousands of people marched peacefully through Orléans on Saturday to protest against the far-right National Rally as the party held its congress a few kilometres away, with demonstrators calling for solidarity and voicing their concerns about 2027.
Saturday's march drew 13,000 people, according to the prefecture, while organisers put the turnout at 26,000. Families, trade unionists and left-wing politicians joined the procession, which dispersed without incident in the early afternoon.
