French park boss arrested for ‘refusing Israelis entry’
The Independent
|August 24, 2025
The manager of a park in southern France has been detained for alleged religious discrimination after a group of Israeli children were refused access to the facility, a French prosecutor's office said.
The Israeli children, aged between eight and 16, were on holiday in Spain and had booked to use the zipline at the Tyrovol zipline adventure park in Porté-Puymorens, near the Spanish border in the Pyrenean mountains, on Thursday.
The Perpignan prosecutor's office said the manager initially said he was refusing the group access on the grounds of "personal beliefs" before offering alternative justifications to others.
A message posted on the park's social media on Wednesday evening said the site would be closed on Thursday due to a storm, "in order to carry out a complete inspection of the facilities".

What is in Trump's deal with Nato over Greenland?
After a week that pretty much shook the world, the Greenland crisis subsided just as rapidly as it blew up.
