Rioters in France burned down a historic 19th-century landmark as almost 1,800 were arrested on Saturday following one of the country's worst days of violence and loottitng in years.
Limoges City Hall in southwestern France went up in flames during a nationwide orgy of destruction, with the city's furious mayor comparing the arson attack to the 2019 fire that destroyed Paris's Notre Dame Cathedral.
"There was a clear, premeditated intention to burn down the town hall, and the people inside feared for their lives," Limoges mayor Guillaume Guerin told Reuters.
