Rioting in French cities over the past two weeks has left a trail of destruction costing €650 million, according to insurers.
The cost was calculated from 11,300 insurance claims already filed and is expected to rise.
The violence began on June 27 after the fatal shooting by police of Nahel Merzouk, a 17-year-old French-Algerian. Rioters used social media to co-ordinate attacks on public buildings that they saw as symbols of the state.
