STORYLINE:
Several hundred young people took to the streets of Paris on Tuesday to protest National Front leader Jean-Marie Le Pen's run into the second round of France's presidential election.
It followed two days of massive protests across France at the French extreme right candidate's electoral success.
Protesters marched from the Place de la Republique toward Bastille in central Paris, fists in the air, chanting "Le Pen, you're done, the youth is in the street!" or "Down, down with the National Front, and F for Fascism and N for Nazi".
French riot police were ready for trouble but the protest went off peacefully.
