Attempted Arson at the church of Notre-Dame-des-Noues Franconville (Val d'Oise)
The parish priest confirmed that there had been acts of vandalism and arson attempts in this church, probably during the night of September 18th to 19th.
Symbols of the Catholic faith were attacked in the arson attempt: the statue of the Virgin Mary, the baptismal, and the altar. Because of the concrete structure of this modern church, the arson attempt failed. The priest reported the incident to the municipal police and the national police, and forensic officers have gathered evidence.
