  1. The spark

    Teachers strike over missing staff and a lack of resources in schools.

  2. Students walk out

    High school students in Créteil, just outside Paris, start blockading their school. Within days, dozens of schools follow.

  3. It goes national

    More than a thousand high schools are affected by October 1. By October 6 the Justice Ministry counts over 5,000 arrests, most of them minors.

  4. Washington weighs in

    Donald Trump posts that the unrest is about mass migration, not schools.

  5. 3,000 more teachers

    The government promises 3,000 extra teachers and repairs to old school buildings. The blockades keep going.

  6. France explodes

    550,000 people march across the country, 800,000 according to the CGT union. Shops are looted in Paris, the 1883 town hall in Limoges burns and the base of the Marianne statue on Place de la République is damaged.

  7. Anger and shame

    Trump posts "France is burning!" and blames immigration, while French officials point to ultra-left groups and looters. Macron addresses the nation, condemns the violence and promises full transparency on the police response.

  8. Curfews and a budget showdown

    Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu calls for partial curfews in the cities hit hardest, with a crucial budget vote only days away.

The coin

$FR refused to die

$FR launched on pump.fun on July 11, 2025 as the France coin on Solana. Then the dev walked away and left it for dead.

Over a year later, with France in the streets, the holders took it back. This is a community takeover. The people run it now.
