Fire in the Parliament of Brittany: first hypotheses on the origin of the fire and reactions

Fire in the Parliament of Brittany: first hypotheses on the origin of the fire and reactions

Fire of the Parliament of Brittany where sits the Court of Appeal of Rennes. A distress rocket, which fell during the demonstrations of fishermen the day before, may have caused the tragedy. Comments alternate with images of the night disaster, firefighters on cranes or in the rubble, trying to save what can still be saved. Micro-sidewalk among the Rennais looking dismayed at what remains of the building. They say they’re upset. Interview, in the street, of the judge Renaud Van RUYMBECKE, whose files were destroyed by the flames. Interview with Alain Charles PERROT, chief architect of historical monuments, for whom the works of art can be restored, even if they have suffered.
