Overview
- The Aug. 21 refusal at the Tyrovol park in Porté‑Puymorens affected 150 Israeli minors aged 8 to 16 with a longstanding reservation, and the group was escorted to another site without incident.
- Prosecutors say the manager cited “personal convictions” to justify the refusal, though he denies the allegations while in police custody.
- A flagrance investigation is being run by the Prades research brigade with the national hate‑crimes office co‑seized, and the suspected offense carries a potential three‑year prison term.
- Authorities identified the manager as Floran S., 52, who is described as unknown to the justice system and not subject to adverse reports.
- France’s interior minister and Jewish organizations condemned the incident, as investigators also examine a prior Facebook notice stating the park would close for storm‑related safety inspections.
