"At first, a man shouted," There are people who have to get up early to work! "He said that there was music, although we did not hear it," said one of the couples who introduced himself as being Clement.

A little later, he added, it was possible to hear the screams of a woman in the building. "She shouted a lot, she did not seem to have any good intentions"he said.

At least 10 people died in the fire, an "incredible violence", according to firefighters, who needed six hours of intense work to control the flames.
