Champs Elysees braces for return of France’s ‘yellow vest’ protesters 1 SHARES Share it! For now, the “yellow vests” — who take their name from the high-visibility jackets all motorists in France must carry in their vehicles — enjoy widespread public support. “I completely agree with the protesters,” said one shopper on the Champs Elysees who identified herself only as Brigitte. The “yellow vests” have also inspired protests next door in Belgium, where on Friday demonstrators hurled rocks at the prime minister’s office. France’s Interior Minister Christophe Castaner said the Champs Elysees would be closed to traffic, and pedestrians would be funneled through checkpoints.
