The sound of the wild rave party which had been held since Thursday evening in Lieuron, south of Rennes, to celebrate the New Year, was interrupted on Saturday morning and revelers began to leave the premises, we learned from the prefecture of Ille-et-Vilaine.
"There was no intervention of the police", underlines the prefecture, while specifying that the gendarmes, who control the axes to reach the places where there were about 2,500 people Thursday morning, proceed to control operations and verbalizations.
The prefecture referred to an "interruption of the sound" without ruling out the possibility of a resumption of music.
Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin had convened Friday evening in Beauvau a meeting on this rave with the prefect and members of the cabinet.
“I worked with them this night to restore a normal situation by allowing the maximum physical integrity of all,” he wrote on his Twitter account.
Thursday evening, the gendarmes had tried in vain "to prevent this installation and faced the violent hostility of many chirkers", had explained the prefecture of Ille-et-Vilaine on Friday.
During these clashes "a vehicle of the gendarmerie was set on fire, three other degraded and the soldiers wiped bottles and stones, causing slight injuries", according to the same source.
