France pension protests: Rioters storm Louis Vuitton HQ in Paris as Macron strikes continue

Hundreds of French workers have stormed the Paris headquarters of luxury group LVMH as France continues to be gripped by riots over President Emmanuel Macron's hated pension reforms. Protesters called for the rich to contribute more to financing the state pension, just days after Frenchman Bernard Arnault dethroned Elon Musk as the richest man in the world with his net worth growing more than £40bn ($50bn) to £168bn ($211bn). The French company, which owns Louis Vuitton, Dior and Tiffany & Co, has benefited from a post-pandemic rebound in demand for luxury goods, and its shares have risen nearly 26 per cent since the start of this year, cementing its lead as Europe's most valuable company.
