In recent days, videos allegedly showing a cathedral in the western French city of Nantes engulfed by flames have gone viral on social media. Many social media users allege that Muslims are to blame for the incident. But as FRANCE 24's Charlotte Hughes explains, the footage is not recent, and the person responsible was in fact a volunteer at the church itself.
