Family's fears for British woman who has vanished for a week after travelling to French festival

Fears are rising for a British woman who has been missing for a week after travelling to France to attend a festival.

Lucy Stemp, from Tonbridge, Kent, vanished on May 30 after going abroad for the event in Brest.

But the Brit, who has been described by her family as 'very vulnerable', was last spotted some four hours away from the city in Paris.

Her family claim they have not had any contact with her for over a week, and they have since reported her as missing.  

Stemp's loved ones are now pleading with locals and expats to report any information they have to the police or themselves.

Her last known location was the Bercy neighbourhood in the French capital.

The missing Brit's stepdad, Sean, said: 'Lucy is my stepdaughter and is very vulnerable, she has been missing for over a week now.'

It is believed that Lucy will have no access to sorting out how to get herself back home.

The British embassy and Interpol are reportedly working together on a cross-border operation to help track her down.

Paul Arnott, who helps find missing Brits, said: 'Lucy Stemp, from Tonbridge, Kent, has been missing in France for approximately one week and her family are becoming increasingly concerned for her welfare.

'Lucy had travelled to France for a music festival in the city of Brest and is believed to have subsequently been in Paris.

'No one has heard from her for the past week.

'Lucy is considered vulnerable, and efforts to locate her are ongoing.

'The British Embassy, police authorities and Interpol are involved in the search.

'If you know Lucy, have spoken to her, seen her, or have any information that could help establish her whereabouts, please come forward as soon as possible.'

An FCDO spokesperson said: 'We are supporting the family of a British national who has been reported missing in France and are in contact with the local authorities.'
