The French foreign ministry has called on Niger's coup leaders to fully guarantee the safety of its embassy in Niamey.
The appeal comes ahead of more demonstrations planned in the capital on Thursday.
Last Sunday, demonstrators attacked the diplomatic mission, prompting France to organise a mass evacuation of its citizens from Niger.
Pro-coup activists in the West African country - including groups sympathetic to the Russian mercenary Wagner Group - have been demanding French and US military units leave their country.
Earlier, the US ordered all non-emergency staff at its embassy in Niamey to leave and advised its nationals not to travel to the country.
