YELLOW vest rioters took to the streets of French city Rouen to hurl missiles at riot cops earlier today.

Local police fired tear gas as protesters came into conflict with cops, making it just another Saturday of violence in France.

Footage emerged of "gilets jaunes" fleeing momentarily after the tear gas was released.

The protesters have also formed a barricade using bins.

French journalist, Simon Louvet, tweeted: "The GJ are in the streets around Jeanne D'Arc Street and are gassed, they flee running and regroup."

While another journalist, Sotiri Dimpinoudis, shared the riots on Twitter.

The Vests have been protesting since November 17 and, despite a range of concessions by President Emmanuel Macron including scrapping green taxes of diesel and petrol, continue to call for him to step down.

"Macron Resign", a crowd shouted today as they gathered at Montmartre, the tourist district overlooking Paris first thing on Saturday morning.

There had been claimed that they would gather at the ancient palace of Versailles, to the west of the capital, but this turned out to be a diversion.

"Our protests have been hugely successful in Paris itself, and that’s why we’re back here," said Jean Caron, a 52-year-old from Brittany.

"What everybody now realises is that the government cannot control us, and that’s why we will continue until Macron resigns."

Last week, violence erupted in Paris as a cop was seen pulling a gun on Yellow Vest protesters and a car crash victim became the 10th person to die in the riots.

Teargas and baton charges used by riot police around the north of capital on a so-called ‘Act VI’ Day of Rage as anti-government protesters took to the streets for the sixth Saturday in a row.

Most were so-called Yellow Vest fuel price demonstrators, who are named after the high visibility jackets they wear.

It came as a tenth member of the mass movement died during blockades organised at major roads around France.
