Thirty households could have been defrauded out of 45,000 euros. The stays, often canceled at the last minute, were offered to families with modest incomes by a local association advertising attractive prices.

The president of Grand Cœur defended herself against any scam citing health problems which would have led her to “get confused and forget to validate certain stays” “I am ready to repay them, but there are 25 people asking me,” she continues, swearing that she has started the repayments.
