France has been witnessing a wave of mass protests since mid-November, when the so-called yellow vest protesters — named after the obligatory attribute of French drivers — took to the streets to protest rising fuel prices and a planned hike in tax on diesel and carbon fuels.
Rioters wrote various inscriptions on the monument, including calls for French President Emmanuel Macron's resignation, and caused considerable damage to the exhibition halls of the museum. The Arc de Triomphe was closed to the public after the riots.
The "yellow vests" rallies have been marked by violent clashes with police officers, who have used tear gas and rubber bullets against the protesters.
