PARIS—Thousands in France protesting a special virus pass marched through Paris on Saturday, with French police in full riot gear using their fists to push some demonstrators back and firing tear gas against some crowds.

Some 3,000 security personnel were deployed around the French capital for a third weekend of protests against the pass that will be needed to enter restaurants and other places.
