Overview
- A 34-year-old Dutch woman collapsed and died despite rescue efforts during an unauthorised rave in Ain that drew about 5,000 attendees on May 31.
- First response teams, including sapeurs-pompiers and civil security associations, treated multiple injuries at the remote sites of Innimond and Lompnas.
- Ain prefect Chantal Mauchet condemned the illicit gathering, warned of equipment seizure and launched a judicial investigation into the circumstances of the death.
- In Orne, around 1,000 ravers gathered at Saint-Loyer-des-Champs in defiance of a prefecture ban, prompting deployment of 50 gendarmes with canine units and drones.
- Orne gendarmerie chief Colonel Roland Marzin reported over 60 fines issued for drug possession and breach of the ban, and officials are fielding complaints from nearby residents and landowners.
