PARIS (Reuters) - Protesters opposed to the French government's proposed changes to the pension system tried to force their way into a theatre in Paris where President Emmanuel Macron attended a show with his wife.

Videos on social media showed protesters chanting "Macron resign" and at one stage trying to enter the venue near the Gare du Nord train terminus in northern Paris.
