This Monday morning, the cemetery of Gruissan, on the Aude coast, is closed until further notice, due to a gendarmerie investigation. According to France 3 Occitanie, around twenty graves have been tagged with black felt tip pen, with swastikas and inscriptions such as "Mort aux Français", "Mort aux Juifs", but also various insults.

The facts go back to Sunday morning. The tombs affected were said to have been chosen at random and were not broken. Gruissan, a seaside resort with about 5,000 inhabitants, is known for having served as the setting for Jean-Jacques Beineix 37 ° 2's film in the morning , with Béatrice Dalle, released in 1986.
