Twin babies were killed, and their father seriously injured, when a fire broke out in their home in northwest France on Saturday, firefighters said.
"The fire brigade responded to a fire in a single-family dwelling on the ground floor, which was completely engulfed in flames when emergency services arrived," said the fire service in the Loire-Atlantique region.
The 13-month-old twins died and their 40-year-old father suffered serious injuries.
Fourteen fire engines were mobilised to put out the blaze.
"Psychological support was provided on site", said the fire service.
