In just a few days, more than half a million euros were raised for the restoration of the burned Limoges town hall.

In just a few days, over 556,000 euros were raised for the restoration of the Limoges town hall, which was set on fire by masked rioters. The Heritage Foundation initiated the fundraising campaign following the incident on October 17, with contributions from nearly 6,000 donors, including international support. The foundation aims to collect a total of 600,000 euros for the reconstruction of the severely damaged roof. Limoges' mayor, Guillaume Guérin, expects state support comparable to that given for Notre Dame's restoration. A 40-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the arson, linked to previous surveillance due to extreme leftist views. Protests across France have turned violent, leading to over 400 arrests amid rising living costs and education issues.
