[4] Protests broke out regularly throughout June, with hundreds of thousands of people demonstrating in most of France's largest communes, including Toulouse, Marseille, Nantes, Rennes, Grenoble, Montpellier, Saint-Étienne, Bordeaux, Lyon, Strasbourg, and Orléans.

[7][8] On 10 June, 3,000 people gathered at the Place de la République in Paris, where one protester fell off the statue at the center of the plaza and required emergency care.

A protester climbed up a building to take down a French flag hanging from the window of an apartment, causing applause from a crowd displaying union and far-left symbols.

Father Grégory Lutz-Wiest claimed that protesters threw plates and cutlery from a soup kitchen for the homeless onto the square before tagging the outside of the building with the phrase “Morts aux FAFs” (English: Death to the "France for the French").

[14] On 14 June in Lyon, about 3,500 people gathered on the Place des Terreaux in a demonstration set up by 65 organizations, with many protesters carrying Palestinian flags.

Many activists called him a "social traitor " as he made his speech for withdrawing deputies in certain constituencies to block the National Rally from winning seats.

As protesters left the square, several trash cans were overturned, windows were broken at a McDonalds on Rue du Faubourg du Temple, fireworks were fired, and a bank branch was damaged as the group passed by Avenue Parmentier, with police firing tear gas grenades at the group.

Police and eyewitnesses reported the presence of mortar fire, erected barricades, vandalism of a storefront, and "attacks on the town hall".

[17] In Nantes, a spontaneous demonstration took place following the announcement of election results, which proceeded peacefully aside from reported "throws of projectiles".

[19] In Lille, dozens of people chanted "La justice emmerde le Front national" as they marched down rue Faidherbe.

Speeches by various personalities, including actresses Judith Godrèche and Josiane Balasko, journalist Rokhaya Diallo, writer Annie Ernaux, singer Juliette Armanet, former European deputy Jacques Toubon and environmental activist Cyril Dion, are also scheduled.

[34] On 14 June, National Rally leader Jordan Bardella called for "appeasement" and emphasized the importance of respecting the results of democratic elections.

[35] Tangi Marion, the National Rally candidate for the Fougères constituency of Ille-et-Vilaine, responded to anti-far right protests in the region on 15 June by emphasizing the importance of respecting democratic outcomes, and criticized the left for contesting the European election results.

He highlighted that over 40% of employees voted for Jordan Bardella in the European elections and reiterated the need for civil peace and mutual respect among voters.

He also labeled several labor reforms promoted by the party as "confiscation of the fruits of the work provided by the French to finance untenable promises."

He also criticized the absence of French flags at the demonstrations and what he called violent, anti-Semitic, and anti-police slogans, which he claimed dishonored the left.

[36] French journalist Vincent Trémolet de Villers called the protests held in Paris after the first round of elections a "reflex gesture from the militant left".

[17] Several businesses and shops in several different metropolitan areas such as Lyon, Grenoble, Rennes, and Paris barricaded their storefronts to protect their establishments in anticipation of the results of the first round of elections, including stores that were damaged in prior demonstrations.
