Scattered groups of masked protesters have clashed with police firing tear gas in eastern Paris after the election of pro-business independent Emmanuel Macron as France's new president.
About 100 protesters were dodging police through neighbourhoods near the Pere Lachaise cemetery. Police were checking documents and detaining some protesters.
During the presidential campaign, many groups held protests against Macron's far-right rival Marine Le Pen.
Some anarchist and far-left groups also held occasionally violent protests against both candidates, seeing Macron as too business-friendly and Le Pen as tainted by her party's racist past.
It came as the interim president of Le Pen's National Front said the party will be changing its name.
Le Pen said in her presidential concession speech that she would make "deep" changes to her party, and interim party president Steeve Briois told The Associated Press that would include a new name.
He said "It's opening the doors of the movement to other personalities then give it a new name to restart on a new basis."
A name change would help Le Pen further distance herself from the party's anti-Semitic past and her hard-line father, party founder Jean-Marie Le Pen.
Macron's inauguration will be held by the end of the coming week at the Elysee palace. But the exact date hasn't yet been set.
The ceremony must be scheduled before the formal end of the term of Socialist President Francois Hollande on May 14.
Macron will attend his first official event as president-elect on Monday by Hollande's side at the commemoration of World War II Victory Day.
The Constitutional Council will declare the definitive results of the vote by Thursday.
Once president, Macron will have to quickly designate a prime minister and form a government. The whole process usually takes no more than a few days.
