Firefighters arrived in large numbers in front of the store last night to contain the flames. An employee, who was affected by the smoke, was then evacuated.

Repeated incivility in this street

According to the mayor, Laëtitia Coquelle, a “before and after” has been observed since the establishment of this business on this street.
