Shopkeepers across France are boarding up storefronts fearing looting during upcoming protests. Many shops cover their windows with wooden panels, worried glass might shatter.
Despite official bans, Yellow Vests plan to return to the streets tomorrow.
Security authorities have raised measures to their highest levels across the nation. Seventy thousand police and gendarmes will stand guard throughout the entire country.
Officials say security forces are working to prevent violence and public disorder. Local merchants hope boarded windows will limit damage while tensions remain high.
