Shortly before 8 a.m., about thirty hooded individuals managed to enter this high school, known for being calm, and set fire to part of the buildings.
The high school is closed until further notice. Karine Rabiot showed what, just a few days earlier, had still been the student-life offices.
The principal saw these individuals overrun the premises, amid fireworks mortar fire and buildings in flames.
The attack is the fourth in a month. Last month already, the school had been the target of an attempted intrusion.
As soon as conditions allow, she says she is ready to welcome her 1,800 students, even if some may have taken part in the vandalism.
Firefighters managed to contain the blaze. The damage is estimated at one million euros, not counting the trauma suffered by the staff.
