France Cleans Up After Riots: 1,800 Arrested
Limoges' 143-year-old town hall was largely lost after part of it collapsed in a fire.
France is cleaning up after a day of riots and looting on Saturday, with about 1,800 people arrested and around 1,500 shops damaged.
The interior ministry says some 550,000 people marched, mostly peacefully, over fuel prices, the cost of living and public services including schools. Masked groups then set fire to cars and buildings. Limoges' 143-year-old town hall was left "largely lost" after part of it collapsed, and Lyon's tourist office was burned.
Do you think the anger behind these protests will fade before France's election?
