Rioting across France appeared to be less intense on Saturday, as tens of thousands of police and specialized elite units were deployed in major cities across the country after the funeral of a teenager of North African descent, whose shooting by police sparked nationwide unrest.

In the Parisian suburbs, the home of mayor Vincent Jeanbrun was set alight while his wife and children were asleep inside. Jeanbrun, from the conservative Les Republicains party, was at the town hall at the time of the incident, which has been the target of attacks for several nights since the shooting and has been protected with barbed wire and barricades.

"They're breaking things just to break things, they want to spread terror, attack elected officials and try to put the Republic in danger. But I don't think they had their target on one particular individual or mayor," L'Haÿ-les-Roses resident Marie-Christine said.

Meanwhile, tourists filled Paris tour buses and roamed around landmarks by daytime on Sunday, undeterred by the recent riots. Jacqueline Baughmend, a tourist from Chicago, compared the French unrest to 2020 U.S. protests after police killed African-American George Floyd, and said that “watching France go through their own version of it is interesting.”
