A protester holds a placard reading "price falls, wage rises" during a rally in Valenciennes, northern France on October 31, 2026, part of nationwide demonstrations over the rising cost of living and inequality organised by Yellow Vest movement, labour unions and high school and university students.

France has been rocked by widespread anger over the rising cost of living and inequality. (Photo by Francois LO PRESTI / AFP)
