EXCERPT:
A combination of predominantly African Muslim and leftist rioters destroyed a historic French landmark amid month-long nationwide riots that are supposedly about “education.”
In Limoges, the 1883 Hôtel de Ville, a listed neo-Renaissance building inspired by Paris City Hall and standing approximately 141 feet at its central clock tower, was set alight by masked individuals after a march. The roof collapsed onto lower floors except the west wing, two-thirds of the exterior was destroyed, and the hand-crafted clock tower ultimately collapsed into the blaze.
Local prefect Maurice Barate described the result as a “heritage catastrophe.” The structure, which had survived two world wars, was assessed as largely lost.
In Lyon, a branch of the city tourism office occupying an 1852 pavilion on Place Bellecour was looted and burned. Hooded individuals dressed in black first accessed the roof, removed signage letters, then entered the building and ignited a fire. Fire crews were delayed by hostile groups throwing projectiles and fireworks.
Mayor Grégory Doucet called the loss a tragedy for an iconic, well-known historic structure. The building had served as a visitor facility after interior renovation in 2015.
