French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday used a special power to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 without a vote.
Macron shunned Parliament and invoked a constitutional power to impose a bill that has sparked protests across France.
Fiery riots erupted in Paris on Thursday.
Garbage cans are on fire near the Champs-Élysées.
