The disappearance of an elderly man from a Brittany care home turned out to be an unlikely love story.
The 93-year-old was reported missing from the retirement home in the small coastal town of Pléneuf-Val-André by his granddaughter, who arrived for her weekly visit.
But when she entered his room on Saturday afternoon, the man was nowhere to be found.
The young woman alerted staff at the Les Jardins d’Arcadie home, who searched the premises before contacting the police, according to a report in Le Telegramme.
Despite the panic, the story came to a happy resolution when police officers tracked down the 93-year-old.
