The Church of Scientology will inaugurate a new training center in Saint-Denis this weekend. The municipality is hostile to its installation.

The Church already has two smaller centers in Paris and two others in France, in Angers and Clermont-Ferrand. In 2022, the movement founded in 1952-1953 claimed from the AFP “40,000 to 45,000 members in all categories (from the most dedicated to the least involved)” in France. A declaration of demonstration concerning the inauguration was received at the prefecture.
