Protesters have gathered across France to demonstrate their opposition to the pension age being raised from 62 to 64, with 200 demonstrations expected on Thursday.
We want to speak to people in France who are taking part in the protests. Why is it important for you to be there? What is the atmosphere like?
We would also like to speak with others in the country about their views on the raising the pension age and the government.
