Ce refuge de tortues est devenu un CAUCHEMAR

In Bessière, near Toulouse, a refuge once considered one of the most beautiful tortoise sanctuaries in Europe collapsed in record time. How did this haven become a field of ruins? In this investigation, Ulysse Thevenon retraces the spectacular fall of the refuge, marked by a confrontation between two sides with serious accusations. On one side, Jérôme Maran, a renowned expert, now under investigation. On the other, the State, accused of serious negligence. Caught in the middle, hundreds of tortoises paid the ultimate price. Through exclusive testimonies and documents, this investigation unravels the chain of decisions, errors, and tensions that precipitated the disappearance of this unique park, and reveals the mechanics of a disaster foretold.
