France's riot damage doubles: How will businesses pay for the destruction?

At least 3,000 French shops were hit over the weekend. Insurers say they are mobilised, but lost trade may not be covered. Here is who pays the riot bill.
The number of shops damaged during France's weekend riots has reached at least 3,000, twice the figure reported just a day earlier.

Yet insurers, who are expected to pick up much of the bill, still have no estimate of what the destruction will cost them.

France Assureurs, the country's insurance federation, told Euronews that its members were "fully mobilised to support affected policyholders".

It could not provide an initial estimate of losses or say how many claims had been already filed.
