The gilets jaunes was not really an organized movement; more of a coincidental alignment of purposes starting with, of all things, the rise of gas prices.
There are likely going to be some huge student protests, which usually take a little bit to organize; but at this point a lot of people are half convinced that Macron’s abuse of power will make any social movement meaningless.
The yellow jackets was a specific movement in 2018-2019 that was mainly about cost of living/gas prices (ergo the vests, which are you are required to have in a car). That was 5 years ago. Right now, the NFP parties, unions and other leftist orgs are protesting against Macron.
