A group of renters made a gruesome discovery Saturday as they walked around the property of their Paris Airbnb rental.
BuzzFeed News reported that a decomposing corpse was found near a heavily wooded area of the land on which the house sits.
The house is in the suburbs of Paris.
Police told Le Parisien that "from all the evidence, a criminal act has taken place."
The woman's body was in a "very decomposed state" and covered with branches.
There was no identifying information on the body, such as a license.
CNN reported that the woman was between ages 30 and 50 and had no shoes on but was wearing clothes, according to police.
The renters have been questioned by police and an investigation is underway.
The cause of death will be determined by an autopsy.
