Event date: Monday, October 19, 2026
Address: Brive-la-Gaillarde · Directions ↗

After the violence in Limoges on Saturday, October 17, on the fringes of protests against the rising cost of living, which ended with the city hall being destroyed by fire, many Corrèze residents gathered on Monday, October 19. Elected officials and citizens met in front of Brive city hall in the morning, then in Tulle in the late afternoon, as well as in other towns across the department, to support the people and shopkeepers of Limoges. In Brive, the crowd also included protesters who had marched through the town on Saturday afternoon. They fear the violence will cost their movement and its demands all credibility.
