The explosion, which occurred shortly before midnight on 6 July, caused parts of the club ceiling and walls to collapse.
Three people were injured, including Ffion, as reported by What’s The Jam.
She suffered a fractured skull, a fracture in her ear, and a bleed on the brain, which required immediate surgery and a hospital stay in intensive care, as well as surgery to her face.
Ffion, of Brynmawr, south Wales, remains in hospital in Paris, where she is receiving treatment for her serious injuries ahead of her wedding in just over a month.
A GoFundMe page has been set up by a family member to support Ffion and her fiancé, Chris, while she remains in intensive care.

“Understandably, Ffion and her family are distraught, especially since she and her fiancé Chris are due to get married next month.
“I am hoping to raise money to support Ffion’s family with transport and accommodation whilst out in Paris.
