France Protests: Hairdresser Counts $20,000 in Damage After Salon Looting | RA13

French hairdresser Manon Creteur is counting the cost after rioters ransacked her salon in Lille during anti-government protests, leaving more than $20,000 in damage and stolen goods. Creteur says the salon’s windows were smashed, furniture overturned, products stolen and accounting documents scattered outside. The business owner, who built her salon from scratch after years of hard work, says she understands public anger over problems in France but questions why small businesses and their employees have become victims of the unrest. The looting comes amid wider disturbances across France, with shops vandalized, fires reported and public buildings damaged. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu has discussed targeted local curfews while ruling out a blanket curfew in Paris. The government has also announced support measures for affected businesses. The report highlights the impact of the protests on small business owners struggling to rebuild after the destruction. #France #FranceProtests #FranceRiots #Lille #FrenchNews #ManonCreteur #SmallBusiness #Looting #Protests #WorldNews France Protests: Hairdresser Counts $20,000 in Damage After Salon Looting | RA13 France protests, France riots, French hairdresser, Manon Creteur, Lille France, salon ransacked, French salon looting, France anti government protests, riots in France, hair salon vandalized, small business damage, $20000 salon damage, French business owner, looting in Lille, France unrest, French protests October 2026, Sébastien Lecornu, Emmanuel Macron, small businesses France, protest damage, shop looting, salon vandalism, France breaking news, European news USN: RW149819102026RP1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The world moves fast.
