Firing of fireworks, fires, but also looting and ransacking of shops. Urban violence, on the night of Thursday to Friday, targeted stores, including large retailers. “Lidl, Leclerc, Auchan, Carrefour, Darty, all the brands have been affected”, confirms Jacques Creyssel, the general manager of the Federation of commerce and distribution. Crumbled windows, stolen shoes… In the heart of Paris, in Châtelet-les-Halles, the Arche store like the Nike store a few meters away were ransacked and emptied.
