I just read this from the Guardian's Paris chief, thought it was a pretty good sampling of some of the grievances:

Seems a common complaint is that Macron looks great from abroad, but he's ignoring the people at home.

Also worth checking this tweet from the French government account:

Finally, the recent images of students being made to kneel with hands behind their heads by riot police is not going down well anywhere.
