France House Fire

Twin babies were killed, and their father seriously injured, when a fire broke out in their home in northwest France on Saturday, firefighters said.

Authorities found nine corpses on Wednesday after a fire ravaged a centre housing holidaying adults with learning difficulties in eastern France, the fire brigade said.

Firefighters responding to a house fire in central France found the dismembered body of an 83-year-old woman in her freezer on New Year's Day, sources close to the investigation told AFP on Thursday.

As Notre-Dame in Paris, France, burned on April 15, social media was flooded with memories from people from around the world who have visited the iconic 13th Century house of worship. One such memory was shared by a woman who had visited the church just hours before the tragedy struck.

French police sealed off a housing estate in Marseille on Monday after hooded gunmen opened fire on a police car with Kalashnikov rifles in what a senior local official suggested was an incident related to drug crime.

A fire broke out on Friday on the seventh floor of the "Maison de la radio" ("Radio house"), a vast circular building in Paris housing several media operations.
