With less than two weeks before Christmas, shoppers in Paris continued to hit the city’s department stores on Saturday despite the “yellow vest” protests that have rocked the capital in recent weeks.

Demonstrators gathered in the French capital on Saturday for the fifth consecutive weekend of the nationwide anti-government movement, clashing with police, notably on the Champs Elysees where many stores were boarded up.
