The Paris administrative court of appeal on Monday suspended the building permit for a swimming pool in Aubervilliers (Seine-Saint-Denis) intended to serve as a training basin for the Paris-2024 Olympic Games, which involves the destruction of allotment gardens.

"The execution of this ordinance, which suspends the contested building permit, necessarily implies, as the applicants rightly argue, that the work already undertaken is immediately terminated", according to the judgment of the court consulted by AFP, which points to several legal defects, in particular with regard to the town planning code.
