France imposes curfews after riots burn Limoges town hall
France is imposing curfews in some cities after weekend riots and looting, the country's worst violence in years, which included the burning of Limoges's town hall and the closure of the Louvre Museum. Authorities conceded losing control in major cities, with nearly 2,400 arrests and about 1,000 police and firefighters injured. President Macron blamed far-left groups, while protests initially stemmed from student demands over school conditions and rising living costs. The unrest follows days of peaceful anti-government demonstrations, with leaders trading blame. Far-right candidate Marine Le Pen leads polls ahead of April's vote, and U.S. officials linked the violence to immigration, a claim French officials have not made.
