The essentials
Paris confines Saturday's march to one route after a court rejects an appeal against it.
The Paris police prefecture has set the route for Saturday's march as Porte d'Italie to Porte de Vincennes, according to reporting. The demonstration is scheduled to depart Porte d'Italie at 14:00 on 24 October 2026.
An administrative court has rejected an appeal against the route. The reporting does not name the party that brought the appeal or set out the court's reasoning.
The prefecture has also banned a demonstration at Place de la Bastille. Reporting describes a large police presence at the square but gives no figures for officers deployed.
The Louvre museum will be closed to visitors on Saturday, according to reporting. The sources do not link the closure to the march or to the Bastille restriction.
The available material does not state the legal grounds for the route or the Bastille ban, the expected number of marchers, or how organisers have responded. Because each fact rests on a single report, the details should be read as provisional.

From Route Decision to Court Ruling: Saturday's Paris Arrangements
The sequence begins with the prefecture fixing the Porte d'Italie to Porte de Vincennes route, with departure set for 14:00 on Saturday. An administrative court later rejected an appeal against that route. The reporting also lists the Bastille ban and the Louvre closure as measures for the day. It does not state the order in which these decisions were made or whether further changes are planned.
Central Paris Sites Restricted as Saturday's March Is Confined to One Route
Under the prefecture's decision, Saturday's demonstration is confined to a single corridor between Porte d'Italie and Porte de Vincennes. Restrictions also reach Place de la Bastille, where demonstrations are banned, and the Louvre, which is closed to visitors. Together, these measures set limits on where people can gather and visit in central Paris on the day. The reporting does not say how long each restriction will last.
