Staff reported seeing flames in an upstairs bathroom shortly before the blast in the south-east of France. Their are also unconfirmed reports a suspect package had been spotted in the bathroom just moments before. Police said they suspect a 'criminal origin' - although they have not clarified whether this constitutes arson or an explosive device. Officers have now sealed off surrounding roads as they investigate the explosion, which occurred at around midday. According to one local media source someone lit a firecracker in the bathroom, which led to the fire. The loud noise emitted by such a device would also explain the reports of an explosion in the upstairs bathroom, which was badly damaged in the incident.
