Pictures show Paris erupting during May Day rally, with protesters torching a McDonald's

The rally appeared to have started peacefully.

The rally was organized in opposition to Macron's economic reforms.

Symbolized here — but it later erupted.

Protesters smashed the windows at a McDonald's near the Austerlitz Metro station.

And reportedly threw one or more Molotov cocktails inside.

They also overturned and lit a car on fire near a Renault garage ...

... which appeared to have burned for awhile ...

... long enough for this man to pose in front of it with a beer.

Firefighters eventually put it out.

Riot police formed a barrier and fired tear gas at the protesters.

But they didn't seem to care, at least at first.

They formed their own barricade.

And threw colored-smoke bombs at the police.

And cobble stones.

Police eventually broke it up, arresting 200 people. Four people, including one officer, received minor injuries.
