PARIS, Jan 22 (Reuters) - A gas leak at a factory in France left a strong odour over Paris and large areas in the western part of the country early on Tuesday, police said.

He added there was no danger to the public. A second police official in Paris said authorities were being flooded with calls from worried residents in the French capital.
