Lyon is one of the tensest spots. In Paris this morning, fire damaged the entrances of at least two lycées. In Aubervilliers, a group of young people tried to force the gates of a lycée. Police responded with a large amount of tear gas. The worst violence on the previous day was in Marseille. A young man with his face covered set an aerosol spray alight and aimed the flame at a woman’s face. She was burned. The same day, several hundred young people surrounded a fire truck at Lycée Saint-Exupéry. Firefighters had to abandon it. The vehicle was looted and set on fire. Unknown attackers also surrounded an M6 journalist, beat him, and smashed his camera with a hammer. In Manosque, protesters reached city hall. On October 1 a pyrotechnic round flew into the building, hit an upper-floor office, and started a fire. Strasbourg shut down its entire tram network, officially to limit rioters’ movement. Clashes with police resumed there today. The Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region alone puts preliminary damage to schools, grounds, and attacked vehicles at €25–30 million.
