Not at all: It is the word which I would have used (which is why I looked it up in the first place, just to be sure). Protest is what's happening. It's Paris, all they do is protest. Since the OP is probably not an English native speaker, I find it a bit nasty to correct him when he is right all along... English French words with the same or near the same spelling often have slightly different meanings. A funny example is: On a jar of jam: E: No Preservatives F: sans agents de conservation Why not "sans preservatifs"? .... a preservatif is the French word for condom.
