Although many marched peacefully throughout October, some protests descended into looting, fires and clashes with police.
Rising living costs, declining public services and anger at President Emmanuel Macron's leadership have been some of the issues so far.
French high school student protests resumed on Monday with teenagers blockading around 40 schools to demand better education conditions.
Over the border in Belgium, students joined trade unions in opposing budget cuts they fear will make higher education less accessible and place greater pressure on workers.
A major demonstration in Brussels last month attracted approximately 30,000 people, according to police, and disrupted public transport and air travel.
Smaller groups clashed with police, while the wider march remained peaceful.
In Germany, young people are increasingly questioning government priorities, as more than 100,000 people reportedly joined demonstrations across the country around Halloween.
Protesters raised concerns about the cost of living, inequality, underfunded schools and healthcare, climate change, and increased military spending.
Opposition to a possible return to compulsory military service was also prominent, with young people questioning why they might be expected to serve while public services struggle to secure investment.
Italy has also seen criticism of military spending, with tens of thousands participating in demonstrations across more than 40 cities during a nationwide strike last week.
While most demonstrations were peaceful, tensions remain following earlier clashes with police in cities including Milan, Turin and Bologna.

With demonstrations continuing across the continent, the message from Europe's streets is becoming increasingly difficult for political leaders to ignore.
