The Brittany Place was booked via Gîtes De France. The La Rochelle place booked on Vrbo, was not exactly cheap but somewhat cheaper than similar places on other websites.

Weapons, ammo and chemicals that can be used to make improvised explosives were found and confiscated. The suspects have denied any involvement. The trial should last until 27 June.

They wanted to kill 200 "radicalised imams" and blow up a mosque portal. There was talk of using a couscoussier (large pot used to cook couscous) to hide a bomb. Amazingly a 1980 comedy, "Les sous-doués", features a bomb hidden in such a pot.
