Limoges is Burning

The iconic City Hall of Limoges, France - a symbol and a source of pride for the city and its citizens —collapsed after an act of arson committed during an intrusion that took place on the sidelines of demonstrations in the downtown on Saturday, October 17, 2026.
Here are some footages taken in the aftermath of the tragedy. Plans are currently underway to reconstruct the building exactly as it was. A big thank you to the firefighters.

Having been born and raised in Limoges, I found this terrible event deeply traumatic; a piece of our patrimony and our identity has been lost in the flames.
