Is Paris burning?
No, what is burning are the barricades set up in the middle of the streets. several are actually plastic trash cans (bins)
I’ve seen none of the usual car burnings typical of previous rioting. I’ve seen what seem to be bottle rockets and fire works but no video of store burnings.
What vids have you been watching? There were hundreds of car arsons across France during the Oct. 17-18 riots alone. Check a few more sources of your own choosing, or just do a search.
Granted, this number is considerably lower than the typical New Year’s Eve festivities (around 1k the last couple years.)
I wasn’t even looking for car burnings when I checked Fox News on YT this morning, just to see what’s been going on here and there.

I do think the reporting and commentary gets overblown somewhat (I again cite the New Year’s Eve numbers.) OTOH, 1k car burnings on a typical New Year’s Eve IS pretty crazy!
So, it must be “mostly peaceful” then... yes?
I think not.
