TENS of thousands of people have marched through Nice ahead of the G20 summit along the coast at Cannes.
Huge numbers of police were mobilised by the French state, with a military-style operation to keep protesters on the officially authorised route.
Nice Matin reported that banks in the city centre were boarded up and a man was arrested in his home for allegedly threatening to shoot at riot police.
It said some youths had set fire to a mattress in the street and train drivers had expressed solidarity, with one TER train sounding its horn in support of the anti-capitalist protesters.
