A restaurant in the centre of Paris has been engulfed in flames amid the nationwide ‘Block Everything’ protest attended by almost 200,000 people today.
Fire raged in Wafu Bar on Rue St Denis – one of the many consequences of the demonstrations against Emmanuel Macros, the political establishment and planned budget cuts.
Footage showed flames licking the building’s façade as a man was seen climbing down via scaffolding on the building next door.
France came to a standstill as police clashed with protesters who burnt rubbish bins and disrupted traffic.
