Early in the afternoon, about 600 people gathered in Ajaccio to express their sympathy to the firefighters and police who died in "ambush several hooded young", according to local authorities.
While the mobilization was peaceful, almost half of the gathered decided to climb up to the Jardin Emperor, popular neighborhood where the riot occurred Thursday.
