Protesters start fire at one of Macron’s favourite restaurants

PROTESTERS started a fire at one of French President Emmanuel Macron’s favourite restaurants in Paris yesterday during clashes with riot police at the upmarket left-bank brasserie.

Staff at La Rotonde in the Montparnasse area of the city were forced to put out flames on the awning of the restaurant where Macron held a victory party during his successful 2017 election bid.
