Over one million euros raised for the restoration of the burned-down town hall of Limoges

Over 9,000 donors raised over 1 million euros in less than two weeks for the restoration of the Limoges town hall, which was partially destroyed by arson during riots. The building, a historical symbol of Limoges, has been on the French monuments list since 1975. Restoration work is set to begin in 2028, with a goal of raising at least 2 million euros. The French government has promised to rebuild the town hall identically and has expanded its monument status for additional funding. Meanwhile, protests by students continue across France following recent unrest.
