The single-engine TBM-700 plane was registered in the United States and was flying between Annecy, a tourist destination in the French Alps, and Toussus-le-Noble, a small airport in Paris's western suburbs.

The plane crashed into a field. Officials said the nationalities of the dead were not yet clear.
