The 143-year-old Neo-Renaissance landmark, completed in 1883, suffered catastrophic structural failure when its roof and prominent central bell tower collapsed. Local regional prefect Maurice Barate reported that approximately two-thirds of the building’s exterior facade has been completely lost to the flames, leaving only a fraction of the structure standing. The incident occurred as demonstrations over rising living costs and public service conditions escalated into riots across multiple French cities
