Eiffel Tower is shrouded by smoke as Paris burns into the night: Iconic landmark shines through choking black pall after Yellow Vest protesters set cars ablaze for the seventh weekend as they call on Macron to go

    Protesters set cars alight and left them to burn in the streets of the Capital city as demonstrations resumed
    Earlier today yellow vest demonstrators clashed with riot police who fired tear gas at the crowds in Paris
    Tear gas also fired in Nantes, western France, and protests were expected in Lyon, Bordeaux and Toulouse 
    Small groups took to streets in Paris and elsewhere in France calling for resignation of President Macron
    Despite it being the seventh weekend of protests, momentum for the movement appears to be waning

The streets of Paris have been set ablaze during 'yellow vests' protests in Paris this evening leaving the Eiffel Tower shrouded in thick black smoke, after riot police fired tear gas at crowds earlier today.

Protesters have set cars alight and left them to burn in the streets of the capital city, as a demonstration against the French government's tax policies resumed for the seventh consecutive week.

Shocking images show the iconic tower masked by a covering of smoke and cars engulfed by burning flames sit abandoned on the roadside as demonstrators continued their stand off with authorities.

How much longer before the French turn to "a strongman" to clean things up...?
