Overview

• Between 700 and 2,000 people marched on an approved 7‑kilometre route under heavy police presence and designated exclusion zones.
• About 200 black bloc participants split from the main route and threw projectiles at gendarmes, who responded with tear gas.
• The gendarmerie reported seizing weapons and dangerous items during checks, posting images of a pepper spray canister and a Japanese-style sword.
• National deputies Mathilde Panot and Sandrine Rousseau joined NGOs in the march, as organizers sent time‑capsule messages to future generations.
• Andra still must acquire 13 hectares and 65 hectares of subsurface rights through ongoing expropriation, occupiers say they are evictable from 11 October at Luméville, and works are slated for late 2027 to early 2028 pending a decree.
