French President Emmanuel Macron has called a meeting of his defence and security council to discuss the unrest in New Caledonia.
Indigenous Kanak islanders have refused to abandon their roadblocks.
But French forces have made some progress clearing the highway linking the capital to the main airport.
At least six people have been killed and hundreds injured in nearly a week of unrest, sparked by electoral reforms.
New Caledonia is a Pacific island territory--between Australia and Fiji, which was colonised by the French in the mid-19th century.
