**What the evidence says:** False. Full Fact, a UK fact-checker, published on 29 October 2026 that the video was filmed on Gran Vía in Madrid and was online from at least 29 September, before the looting in France. It placed the scene using a Gran Vía metro sign about 12 seconds in, a pharmacy sign and a bus bearing the word 'Madrid', compared with Google Street View. It links an Instagram reel from 29 September. Full Fact says nothing about who the vendors are or where their goods came from.
