Between 400 and 500 partygoers found themselves in the forest in Abreschviller, near Sarrebourg in Moselle, to participate in a rave party during the Easter weekend, according to information from France Bleu Lorraine Nord. Around 40 cops attended the scene.

The rave party is still going on in the Col du Rognol forest on Sunday April 9, according to France Bleu Lorraine Nord. The police were notified on Saturday April 8 by local residents. The latter were alerted by the unusual passage of vehicles under their windows.
