France: More than 2,500 partygoers at illegal rave that lasted for 2 days

More than 2,500 people have attended an illegal rave in a warehouse at Lieuron near Rennes in Brittany, which began on Thursday and lasted for two days, Le Monde reports. Local authorities said police had tried to "prevent this event but faced fierce hostility from many partygoers". Attendees have clashed with police, setting fire to a car and throwing objects at officers attempting to shut the event down. At least three officers have been injured. Late on Friday, France's Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin held a crisis meeting to discuss the event. On Saturday morning the rave was interrupted, the sound was shut, and participants began to leave the premises.
