October 30 · history of the prefecture’s decision
October 30 history, preceding the appeal reported on the 31st. The noon–6pm window and 2pm start then quoted by AFP are not a new notice from the organisers.[22]
Le Progrès/AFP reports on October 30 that the CGT Bastille–Nation and Yellow Vests Bastille–Concorde routes are banned. The prefecture imposes Porte de Bagnolet → Porte de Charenton along the Boulevards des Maréchaux, from noon to 6pm on the 31st, with a 2pm start. Paris times.[18]

October 31 in Paris: union coalition disputes a proposed route
Application history: the October 27–28 information below predates the decision reported on October 30. It no longer describes a current route starting at Bastille.[18]
In its October 28 live coverage at 10:11pm, TF1 quotes a statement by the Île-de-France union coalition: the police prefecture wants a route between Porte de Bagnolet and Porte de Charenton, and the coalition rejects this change. This concerns the coalition’s Bastille–Nation application, separate from the Yellow Vests application via Opéra.[15]
The original union statement and corresponding prefectural decision have not been consulted. This is a disagreement reported by the media, with no final route or cancellation established. No direction of travel is confirmed here for the Bagnolet–Charenton proposal.[15]
What does the national October 31 call propose?
The coordination sets a general time of 2pm and names the National Assembly in Paris and town halls. It presents the day as a third Saturday of mobilization after October 17 and 24.[1]
The call says sit-ins take place at march starting or finishing points, before or after processions. Where there is no local march, it proposes the town hall. It does not publish a complete list of cities, local organizers, routes, times or administrative decisions.[1][2]
Emmanuel Macron asks processions to avoid city centres. This is a presidential position: it is not a nationwide ban, sets no local route and does not establish that a gathering is cancelled.[9]
In its October 26 statement, the coordination says sit-ins are planned at march starting or finishing points, before or after the procession. Where no march is organized, it calls for a town-hall gathering. Act III therefore involves more than a stationary gathering; these national arrangements do not establish local routes, times or approval.[2]
Speaking in Marseille on October 26, Emmanuel Macron asks October 31 processions to avoid city centres. This statement is not a published nationwide ban, local order, fixed route or cancellation; decisions and routes require city-by-city checks.[9]
Le Monde reports that participants were already discussing the following Saturday’s action at the end of October 24. This confirms that the call was circulating, not a route, approval or future attendance.[5]
According to Le Parisien/AFP, the coordination cancelled the Paris pot-banging protest on 30 October after rejecting Les Invalides. The separate provincial call remains.[16]
School and university blockades on November 3 and 5: what has been called?
Le Parisien/AFP, published October 31 at 2:49pm, reports USL and Union étudiante’s nationwide blockade calls for November 3 and 5.
This call identifies neither an actually blocked school nor a Paris route. The November 3 Interfac meeting at the Panthéon retains its separate announcement.

History: routes and times requested before the decision
Application history: the October 27–28 information below predates the decision reported on October 30. It no longer describes a current route starting at Bastille.[18]
On October 28 at 12:21, Le Parisien reports a separate CGT application for a Bastille–Nation march on Saturday October 31. It is distinct from the Yellow Vests application via Opéra towards Concorde. No CGT start time or original prefectural decision is established in this guide; the 2pm time announced for the Yellow Vests is not applied to CGT.[12]
In its October 27 article published at 10:50, Le Parisien reports statements by the coordination’s lawyer, David Libeskind: a new route was reportedly filed that morning and acknowledged by the police prefecture. No original receipt or prefectural decision has been consulted for this guide; the reported filing does not establish authorisation.[10]
The headline names Bastille–Opéra–Concorde; the body also refers to the National Assembly as the destination. These details describe the organisers’ request. The exact terminus, settled route and prefectural decision remain to be clarified: this is not a confirmed route. The national 14:00 call and the separate October 30 pot-and-pan protest do not establish a departure time for this march.[10]
On October 27, Franceinfo reports a coordination message sent to France Inter: a planned 2pm start at Bastille, then République, the Grands Boulevards and Opéra. The text cites Concorde and the National Assembly; these are the organizers’ intentions. The time, approved route and actual endpoint must be checked again when a decision is published.[11]
Cities and local gatherings: how to verify them
Solidaires Hérault calls for street mobilization on October 31 without giving a place, time, route or administrative decision in its statement. This establishes union support, not a fully specified local gathering.[7]
For each city, identify at least the group behind the call, the place, time, update date and any administrative decision. A participant-added map point does not confirm that an event will take place.[1][7]
October 31 archive: RATP Montmartre closures announced from 4pm
For October 31, a RATP bulletin announces closures from 4pm at Pigalle, Anvers, Barbès-Rochechouart, Blanche, Château Rouge, Lamarck-Caulaincourt, Abbesses and the Montmartre funicular. These are announced times in Paris time, not a station-by-station check of implementation.[25]
Actual implementation and reopening times are not established here. The bulletin says reopening requires police-prefecture authorisation; its general clock is not the announcement’s publication time. This October 31 record is not a statement of network conditions on November 1.[25]
The earlier reading did not list Bastille. Other versions of the bulletin also mention Bastille and Dugommier in the 4pm slot. AFP’s account of a morning reopening therefore does not establish continuous afternoon opening; check the operator’s current notices before travelling.[25][27]
October 31 in Paris: from calls to route decisions
A new route has been filed, according to David Libeskind
At 10:50, Le Parisien reports the lawyer’s statement that a route was filed and acknowledged that morning. The original document, prefectural decision and exact terminus have not been established here.[10]
CGT separately applies for Bastille–Nation
On October 28 at 12:21, Le Parisien reports a separate CGT application for a Bastille–Nation march on Saturday October 31. It is distinct from the Yellow Vests application via Opéra towards Concorde. No CGT start time or original prefectural decision is established in this guide; the 2pm time announced for the Yellow Vests is not applied to CGT.[12]

TF1 quotes the union coalition rejecting the prefecture’s proposed route linking Porte de Bagnolet and Porte de Charenton. The original decision remains unverified; this dispute does not concern the separate Yellow Vests application via Opéra.[15]
Bagnolet–Charenton imposed according to AFP
Le Progrès/AFP reports on October 30 that the CGT Bastille–Nation and Yellow Vests Bastille–Concorde routes are banned. The prefecture imposes Porte de Bagnolet → Porte de Charenton along the Boulevards des Maréchaux, from noon to 6pm on the 31st, with a 2pm start. Paris times.[18]

Added the CGT instruction reported by Anadolu and meeting published by CGT-CASVP; updated the RATP check. These sources are not used to infer other organisations’ decisions, actual departure or Bastille station opening.
Updated the October 31 appeal according to Franceinfo: Bastille–Nation ban restored and the prefecture’s route supported. The reported judicial outcome, organisers’ final notice and the separate Yellow Vests case remain distinct.
Added decisions reported on October 30: two central routes banned and Bagnolet–Charenton imposed, plus a local 11pm–6am curfew over two nights. Original orders remain unread; organisers’ agreement, legal outcomes, boundaries and exceptions are not assumed.
Editorial revision: summaries tailored to this page, links to the full guides and retained sources; event statuses updated where new evidence has been verified.
Added the route disagreement reported by TF1; the two Paris applications remain separate, with no original administrative decision or cancellation assumed.
Added the Lyon mobilisation on October 31, separate from other calls: time published by Impact FM and a route agreement attributed to the prefecture by LyonMag, with original documents and transport effects unverified.
Added links to permanent city pages to find upcoming local announcements.
Added the Franceinfo account of the requested route and announced 2pm start; added a practical summary while retaining administrative status and the distinction from October 30.
Added October 28 local details: announced programmes, separate route applications and additional sources, with no established prefectural approval.
Added the October 27 route filing reported according to David Libeskind, without an original receipt or prefectural decision having been consulted. Concorde and the National Assembly remain destinations to clarify; no confirmed route is inferred from the filing.
Added Emmanuel Macron’s request for October 31 processions to avoid city centres, retaining it as a position rather than a nationwide ban or published local route.
Clarified October 31 arrangements: sit-ins at march starting or finishing points, before or after processions; town halls where no march is organized. No local route, time or permit is added without a separate source.
Explicitly separated the October 30 programme—8pm in Paris, 7pm nationwide—from the October 31 gathering.
Clarified that the announced October 30 pot-banging filing does not apply to the separate October 31 gathering, whose administrative arrangements remain to be verified.
Created the guide with separate sections for the national call, Paris situation, local confirmation and transport. No route or disruption level is inferred.

Paris protest route: administrative decision and political disagreement
Manifs analysis based on the sources in this guide.
The route dispute also concerns a demonstration’s visibility and how it is managed. An administrative solution can set a route without resolving the political disagreement between authorities and organisers.[15][22]
Planning a journey means distinguishing the reported judicial outcome, CGT instructions and transport conditions. Following a route does not establish agreement by every organisation or an end to political disagreement. Earlier requests remain useful for understanding what changed.[22][23][24][25]
