Seventeen others were led to safety with one person taken to hospital, local authorities said.
Interior minister Gerald Darmanin said there were likely several casualties after the fire ravaged the cottage, which was hosting the group.

Fire and rescue services deployed 76 firefighters, four fire engines and four ambulances following reports of flames, local authorities in Haut-Rhin Préfecture said.
