Around 25,000 protesters clashed with police in Nantes on Saturday in defiance of a project to build a new airport in the city of Notre Dame des Landes. The protest started peacefully, but clashes broke out as protesters with fireworks, cobblestones, flares, and bottles edged in on a police blockade established near the administrative center. Police responded with water cannon, tear gas and stun grenades.
