In the Pyrénées-Orientales region of southern France, the manager of the Tyrovol adventure park refused entry to 150 Israeli children and adolescents aged 8 to 16. The refusal, which occurred on August 21, 2025, was reportedly based on the manager's "personal convictions," with some reports linking it to the ongoing Gaza conflict. The incident prompted an investigation for religious discrimination, leading to the manager's placement in police custody. He denies the allegations, claiming the refusal was due to safety concerns and technical issues at the park. Despite his denial, the manager, identified as Floran S., was formally charged with discrimination based on origin, ethnicity, or nationality and was subsequently released pending further judicial proceedings. The case has drawn condemnation from local officials and Jewish community representatives, who emphasize that such actions violate French republican values. A judge of instruction has been assigned to the case, which continues to develop amid public and political scrutiny.
