In Paris, an armoured vehicle was stationed behind the National Assembly, while in Marseille, security forces patrolled the streets alongside armoured vehicles and a water cannon.
The deployment comes amid concerns about further violence during protests, following clashes, looting and arson in several French cities the previous weekend.
