Successful demonstration...
Today, despite grey skies and rain there was a massive mobilisation and as I could hear them chant during the demonstration: Rennes weather, Rennes Demonstration. In fact, with between 5,000 (according to the police) and 15,000 (according to the organisers) people there were plenty out there.

Rough translation from Le Monde:
Some demonstrations already started in areas, in particular in Marseilles, where several thousands of people (15,000 according to organizers', 7,000 according to the police force), among which a strong high-school girl presence but also of the teachers, gathered at the end of the morning.
