First, Restore Order

France is ablaze. It is not the whole country but significant portions of major cities where chaos reigns. It is NOT disaffected "students" roiling the street. It is Arabs and Africans, largely Muslim, doing so, with some recent entries into France among the rioters, but disturbingly also the children and grandchildren of Algerian, Tunisian, Moroccan, and sub-Saharan Africans who established family in France decades ago, some having left colonies of France generations back. yet their progeny are on the street destroying the nation that welcomed their grandparents. Are there Communists and anarchists involved? Certainly, but most "rebels" are Muslims, some acting as opportunists simply taking advantage of a chance to loot, but the more politically aware using it as a demonstration of dominance to show French whose families have always been there that they are no longer of consequence and that Islam is the real power now.  It will take lethal force to calm the street. I do not believe the French government as currently constituted has the will to do what is necessary to end the "revolution".
