A fire set during protests in Limoges largely destroyed the city hall, France 24 reported, while The Hindu described the historic building as having collapsed. Reuters reported that the fire-ravaged structure prompted comparisons with the 2019 Notre-Dame cathedral fire.

The blaze came amid anti-government protests and unrest across France. Fox News reported clashes between masked groups and police, while a Yahoo report said Paris business owners were assessing damage and losses after rioting and looting in the capital.
