The claim
Paris s'est transformé en champ de bataille ce soir, alors que l'extrême gauche célèbre sa victoire électorale en attaquant la police.
Original publisher’s rating
La scène est bien antérieure au 7 juillet dernier. Selon nos recherches, elle date de mars 2023 et n'a donc aucun rapport avec les résultats des élections législatives anticipées en France.

The video predates France’s July 7, 2024, election results: the review found it circulating in the context of a Paris protest against pension reform on March 23, 2023. The review could not confirm that the footage was filmed in Paris, but reports described similar fires there that day.[S1]
Additional context
Separate clashes did occur after the July 7 election results: left-wing supporters gathered in Paris, and reports described projectiles thrown at police, who responded with tear gas. [S1]
