I'll have a go...

An Air France aircraft was forced to to make an emergency return to Orly Airport following a burning smell and smoke in the cabin.

The Aircraft, an Airbus A320, flight AF6232, scheduled to fly Orly - Nice Cote D'azur, had taken off around 21:00 local when a strong smell of burning and smoke enveloped the passenger cabin. The Captain therefore decided to turn around and make an emergency return (to Orly).

The aircraft landed without incident and there were no injuries. Passengers were disembarked calmly. The origin and causes of the smoke have not been commented upon by the airline. The flight took off again more than two hours later and arrived at its destination without any further problems.
