Paris assesses multi-million-euro damage after weekend riots and shop lootings
The city of Paris is tallying damage worth several million euros after a weekend of barricades, shop looting and extensive vandalism.
Following a night of relative calm on Monday evening, authorities imposed a curfew and began inventorying the destruction. Images of smashed storefronts and damaged street furniture have circulated widely online. The municipal government continues to count losses in the Prévert area, where the worst of the chaos occurred. Officials say the total cost is already in the millions, and the assessment is not yet complete.
Why it matters
The damage assessment shows the economic and social cost of urban unrest for Paris residents and the city budget.
