Vandals set fire to about 400 cars overnight and police said they arrested more than 250 people, as violence marred France's New Year celebrations. However, a police spokesman said there were fewer problems than in 2005, when youths attacked trains in the Paris region and southeast of the country.
25,000 police were on duty throughout the country during the night, including 4500 in Paris, where the authorities banned fireworks and firecrackers.
Police said that they had arrested 258 people nationwide by early morning, including two children aged eight and 10 who set fire to dustbins in the eastern city of Strasbourg. Three children aged between 10 and 12 were arrested in a Paris suburb after they were caught carrying cans of petrol.
In the capital itself, almost 400,000 people welcomed in the New Year on the Champs Elysees and at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, where no serious incidents were reported.
Setting cars on fire has become a regular event in France during New Year's Eve celebrations, especially in the deprived suburbs that ring many cities.

Bine fac, "les jeunes", sa se tina de incendiat pana la alegeri, ca sa fim siguri ca invinge dreapta !
Am revazut de curand un film cu Louis de Funes din seria cu JANDARMUL. Franta anilor '60-'70 n-o vom mai vedea niciodata. Acum 12 ani, Nordul era plin de negri si arabi musulmani. Dar cum o fi Sudul, unde n-am ajuns inca. Franta reala mai era pe Valea Loirei (dar nu stiu pentru cat timp!)
Pot sa spun ca greseala lui de Gaulle a fost cand, acordand independenta Algeriei in 1962 FNLA, a repatriat peste un milion de francezi algerieni, care au lasat averea muncita de cateva generatii! Si odata cu ei au venit si cateva milioane de Kabili (berberi bastinasi) care nu s-au inteles niciodata cu arabii cuceritori! Au urmat apoi alte milioane de musulmani. Se rasuceste in mormant Carol Martel! Majoritatea acestor "copii teribili" {din ce in ce mai mici ca varsta) nu-s francezi!
Ehei, erau nostime filmele alea cu Jandarmul din Saint-Tropez.
Azi par un pic puerile, dar la vremea lor, te destindeai un pic dupa ce o vedeai pe Lica Gheorghiu facand pe zina in "Harap Alb" al lui Gopo.
"Dar cum o fi Sudul?"
E suficient sa vezi Marseille, ba pana inspre Spania, se dau de zor sa construiasca moschei peste tot, au primari musulmani, pretentii si abuzuri ce-i irita pe localnici, vezi
