The protesters said they were protesting against the G7 because it is a symbol of concentrated political and economic power.
Last week, Tesla owner Elon Musk, who served as an adviser to US President Donald Trump, became the world's first trillionaire, reigniting concerns about inequality.
"For me, it's a gathering of the rich that shows, once again, how the rich can become even richer while the poor are left behind," said protester Pippa Saugy.
