After police initially prohibited the planned march, unions negotiated permission for a short loop around the Bastille and Arsenal basin. Demonstrators continued to oppose the labor bill and to defend the right to assemble. The route was about 1.6 kilometres, heavily policed, and controversial among participants who viewed its restrictions as limiting protest. This event highlighted the conflict between public-order decisions and the practical exercise of assembly rights.
