Scaling a façade on Avenue Montaigne for a burglary, or setting your sights on the Moon for your next stay: hospitality clearly fears no summit.

🇫🇷 France

🚨 Crime news
Two individuals scaled the façade of the Hôtel Plaza Athénée on Avenue Montaigne in Paris overnight on Tuesday into Wednesday to burgle a suite on the 7th floor. Among the haul, a Richard Mille watch valued at €400,000 brings the total damage to nearly €1 million. The investigation has been handed to France’s organised crime squad (Brigade de répression du banditisme).
