Road blocks were put up across France for a third day on Monday despite the "yellow vest" movement being on a much smaller scale than was seen on Saturday.

In total, 110 protests took place on Monday, with Benjamin Cauchy, the organizer of the movement in Toulouse, explaining their new strategy.

Early on Monday, dozens of barricades were still being manned on motorways and roundabouts, far fewer than the more than 2,000 sites on Saturday.

 Around 200 trucks were backed up along a road leading to a fuel depot in the western city of Rennes, where some protesters had camped out overnight.

Others continued to camp out in supermarket parking lots.

The fact the protesters are willing to continue their action into a third day will concern the French government, whose prime minister Edouard Philippe vowed on Sunday to stick to their plan to raise fuel taxes in January.

 There was also a call on Monday by a member of the right-wing debout la France (stand up France) party for protesters to descend on Paris on Saturday and "block" the city
