What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The 143-year-old town hall in Limoges was severely damaged by fire during nationwide demonstrations against rising living costs. Mayor Guillaume Guérin alleged the attack was deliberate. Officials described the building as largely lost, though Maurice Barate noted the western wing remained intact after the roof collapsed onto lower floors. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu pledged that the town hall would be rebuilt and promised continuity of public services.
