Nantes protest on November 5: gathering announced at 10am at Miroir d’eau
FSU44 announces a gathering in Nantes on 5 November at 10:00 at Miroir d’eau. The route, administrative decisions and whether the action took place remain to be confirmed. Transport effects are now described in the two separate Naolib notices below.
This announcement does not confirm an action on October 31. The route and restrictions of October 24 do not automatically apply to November 5.
What is the route of the Nantes protest on November 5?
For Thursday, November 5, FSU44 indicates 10 a.m. at the Miroir d’eau. No procession route is specified in this source. Do not take the departure from Place de la République on October 24 as an appointment for another date.
Naolib on 5 November: wider interruptions and the airport shuttle at Gare Sud
In its 13:26 city-centre protest notice, Naolib reports interruptions on lines 1, 2 and 3, lines 5 and 40 interrupted, and the airport shuttle terminus moved to Gare Sud, with no service at Hôtel Dieu. The affected sections on lines 4 and C3 have also changed.
Compared with the notice saved in the morning, line 1’s interruption changes from Commerce–Duchesse Anne to Chantiers Navals–Gare Nord; line 2’s northern limit moves from 50 Otages to Motte Rouge; and line 3 changes from Bretagne–Hôtel Dieu to Viarme–Wattignies. Line 4 uses a temporary terminus in rue de Jemmapes, with the interruption now between Foch-Cathédrale and Cité des Congrès. C3’s interruption changes from Hôtel Dieu–Copernic to Gare Sud–Copernic.
For travel to the airport, check the connection with the shuttle at Gare Sud: the morning notice’s normal-route information no longer describes the service in the 13:26 update.
The notice retains a planned 10:00–14:30 window and says changes evolve with the procession. Actual restoration at 14:30 is not confirmed; check the operator’s information before outward and return journeys. All times here are Paris time.

Student action: six lines on their normal routes in the 12:27 notice
In a separate notice about student action, Naolib lists normal routes for lines 4, 12, 30, 42, 50 and 87 at 12:27. This information concerns the effects covered by that notice; lines 4 and 12 are still listed in the 13:26 city-centre notice for the sections shown in the table above.
The earlier C1 and 11 diversions are no longer listed in the 12:27 version; their corresponding restoration remains to be confirmed. Effects around schools and those of the city-centre protest are therefore kept separate.
08:03 student-action notice: diversions retained as history
The version saved at 08:03 reported diversions on lines 4, C1, 11, 12, 50 and 87. The sections below describe that morning situation, before the 12:27 notice.
| Line | Sections in the morning bulletin |
|---|---|
| 4 | Clos Toreau–Porte de Vertou.[6] |
| C1 | Foch–Desaix.[6] |
| 11 | Foch–Bouteillerie.[6] |

| 87 | Ruette–Cimetière Vieux Doulon.[6] |

The FSU44 announcement of November 5 does not confirm an action in Nantes on October 31. A national call and the October 24 restrictions do not replace a dated local announcement.[4]
Other cities: what is announced for November 14
In the sources checked, no Nantes listing is documented for November 14. This page therefore stays focused on November 5 and on the dates already verified in Nantes.[7]
On November 14, ten cities appear on the coordination map, including Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux, Lille and Grenoble. The times and locations for each city are set out in the national file.[7]
History, context and positions
October 24 protest in Nantes: what happened and the outcome
The prefectural order was not a ban on every protest across the metropolitan area. It covered undeclared protests and gatherings in defined areas, including central Nantes and parts of Saint-Herblain, from 10am to 11:59pm.[1]
On October 24, the main gathering reported by Ouest-France began at 1pm at Place de la République on the Île de Nantes. The outlet estimated the march at 15,000 people, while an AFP report republished by La Provence cited 10,000 protesters. The two figures remain attributed to their sources and are not combined.[2][3]
The march set off from the Île de Nantes. Police blocked the first Loire crossing; part of the march used other bridges and reached the city centre, within the area where undeclared gatherings were prohibited.[2][3]
Ouest-France reported 70 arrests in its 9:30pm update. This is a dated local figure, not a national total or necessarily the day’s final judicial outcome.[2]
Reports from 24 October describe bridge crossings blocked or changed during the procession, without a complete line-by-line record of the Naolib network. These remain historical information about that day.[2][3]
Nantes, October 24: bans, boundaries and curfew
The prefecture prohibited undeclared protests in central Nantes and areas near Atlantis and Bois Dormant from 10am to 11:59pm. The exact boundaries were set by the orders and their attached maps; an area restriction should not be described as a citywide ban.[1]
A curfew for minors not accompanied by a parent or guardian applied from 9pm to 6am in specific areas of Nantes and Saint-Nazaire. The measure was limited to the night of October 24–25 and is not a permanent rule.[1]
Nantes protests: announced meeting and transport information
FSU44 announces a meeting in Nantes on 5 November at 10:00 at Miroir d’eau, without a published route. Naolib separately reports the city-centre protest’s effects in its 13:26 notice and student-action traffic information in the 12:27 notice.[4][5][6]
Nantes protests: from 24 October to the 5 November traffic notices
Nantes: restricted areas for October 24
The prefecture announces the times and areas where undeclared protests will be prohibited the next day, along with a targeted nighttime curfew for unaccompanied minors.[1]
The main gathering leaves the Île de Nantes
Ouest-France places the main gathering at Place de la République at 1pm. The march then attempts to cross the Loire and reach the city centre.[2]
Nantes, October 24: 70 arrests in the reported local figures
Ouest-France published this figure in its evening update and said a monitoring deployment would remain in place overnight.[2]
Gathering at Miroir d’eau
FSU44 publishes a local call for November 5: Nantes, 10am, at Miroir d’eau. It identifies a gathering in Nantes; it does not confirm a route, prefectural approval or that the action will take place.[4]
Diversions around schools, retained as the morning situation
The student-action notice reports diversions on 4, C1, 11, 12, 50 and 87. This version is retained in the history.[6]
Wider interruptions and airport shuttle terminus moved to Gare Sud
The city-centre notice expands or changes several interrupted sections, adds interruptions on lines 5 and 40 and moves the airport shuttle terminus to Gare Sud.[5]
Nantes protests: prefecture and participating groups
Loire-Atlantique PrefectureAdministrative authority
It presents the October 24 measures as targeted restrictions on undeclared gatherings and measures to protect public order. This page attributes that rationale to the prefecture and distinguishes it from events reported by journalists.[1]
Nantes: documented gathering details and measures
FSU44 announces a Nantes gathering on November 5 at 10am at Miroir d’eau.[4]
Naolib’s 13:26 notice reports interruptions on lines 1, 2, 3 and other lines, services 5 and 40 interrupted and the airport shuttle terminating at Gare Sud.[5]
The 12:27 student-action notice lists normal routes for 4, 12, 30, 42, 50 and 87; the separate city-centre protest effects on 4 and 12 are listed separately.[6][5]
Undeclared gatherings were prohibited in central Nantes and parts of Saint-Herblain on October 24 from 10am to 11:59pm.[1]
The main reported gathering left Place de la République on the Île de Nantes at 1pm.[2]
Part of the march entered the city centre using other bridges after the first access point was blocked.[2][3]
The latest local update found reports 70 arrests at 9:30pm; this figure remains tied to its publication time.[2]
Nantes: route, service restoration and final figures to verify
Actual restoration times for services affected on 5 November, and restoration corresponding to the earlier C1 and 11 diversions in the student-action notice. The 10:00–14:30 period remains a planned window, not confirmation of restoration.[5][6]
The final judicial outcome of arrests and incidents in Nantes on October 24. The figure of 70 comes from the update checked at 9:30pm.[2]
The procession’s route and times on 5 November, administrative decisions and whether the action took place. FSU44’s announced meeting point and time do not provide those details.[4]
Complete details of Naolib and road disruptions on October 24; the articles reviewed are not an exhaustive record of the network.[2][3]

Updates
Added a pointer to the other cities on November 14: no Nantes listing is documented so far for that date, and the dates already verified in Nantes remain the page’s main line.
Added diagrams by line showing interrupted sections, temporary termini and the airport shuttle. The diagrams use the 5 November 13:26 city-centre notice; school protest notices and earlier records remain separate.
Added Naolib’s 13:26 city-centre situation, the 12:27 student-action notice and the 08:03 morning situation; updated the introduction, local event card, transport section and outstanding questions.
Practical information reorganised: local gathering notices, route status and transport first; earlier announcements retained in the history. Source-check dates remain unchanged.
Added search by period and practical answers today, weekend, location and time; preservation of the October 24 balance sheet as a dated archive.
Added FSU44’s announced meeting on 5 November at 10:00 at Miroir d’eau; the route, administrative decisions and traffic information remained to be checked at that time.
Created the city page with a sourced October 24 outcome, prefectural restrictions, differing participation estimates and no confirmed future local date.
