French police turn away 'rich' private jet passengers who tried escaping the U.K. coronavirus lockdown.
As the questioning continued, three helicopters landed on the tarmac and it became clear they were there to pick up the passengers and take them to their final-destination, the source said.
A border police spokesperson confirmed the incident, telling the Agence France Presse: “They were coming for a holiday in Cannes and three helicopters were waiting on the tarmac. We notified them they were not allowed to enter the national territory and they left four hours later.” As they had only been on the airport’s tarmac, no crime had been committed and all the passengers, including the French Nationals could leave, the source close to the investigation told NBC News.

(That is to say—much more expensive than thrifting, and yielding cookie-cutter results.) But it’s not fair to knock it till I try it, so let’s examine some of the pieces, one-by-one. At the very least, I’m happy to report that the fireplace filled to the brim with books stacked spine-in (pictured above) is not for sale.\n
