Hundreds of COVID-19 restriction protesters gathered in La Chapelle-Saint-Aubin on Friday as convoys hailing from various western French towns were converging on their way to Paris.

Inspired by horn-blaring trucker convoy demonstrations in Canada, the motorists - from multiple cities across France - gathered outside Paris during Friday seeking to defy a police order not to enter the city.

"The people have to go back and live normally," said Maryse Richard, a pensioner who came to supporter participants to the convoy. "We have to stop now because (whether) you get the vaccine or not, you get COVID, so it's really stupid."

Meanwhile, France mobilized thousands of police, armoured personnel carriers and water cannon trucks in Paris on Friday to keep out convoys of motorists.
