Incidents broke out on Saturday evening on the Esplanade des Invalides in Paris between a few hundred young people participating in an improvised party and law enforcement officials who came to interrupt the festivities, said an AFP journalist.
The call for this festive gathering had been discreetly launched on social networks under the code name “ProjetX”, in reference to the cult American film “Project X” of 2012 on a party organized by teenagers and which skids by its magnitude .
The incidents began shortly before midnight on the lawns of the Esplanade des Invalides when young people who had gathered there launched projectiles at the passage of several law enforcement vehicles arriving on the scene.
The police then used tear gas to disperse the revelers.
