Father accuses French campsite staff of 'bias' against English tourists - claiming they 'ganged up' on his family with false claims against his children
A 'fuming' Englishman has claimed that a French campsite unfairly accused his family of 'tearing' a trampoline up and 'leaving rubbish everywhere' - saying they have a 'clear bias' against the Brits. Taking to TikTok, father-of-three James, who runs @thedaurats - an account with more than 11,600 followers - blasted staff at Camping des Lancieres, in the Rogny-les-Sept-Écluses region, for 'ganging up' on them. 'I'm raging,' he said the video, which has racked up some 119,400 views. 'We're travelling through Europe in a campervan and we're in France at the moment. 'We needed somewhere to stay for a couple of nights and we found a campsite and we thought this was brilliant value. It literally was like €9 per night on this site.' James admitted the play area was 'a little bit basic' but there was a 'trampoline'. 'Our children then went to play,' he continued. 'They were fine. I kept checking on them every so often. 'There was another family at the other side of the site who have children who were playing with our children. 'But I could see that the two boys were being rough, like, hitting my child to a point where I said, come off the trampoline. 'Later on, they came over - and they were playing fine... all getting along nicely. They went back anyway and they went back on the trampoline.' Then however, James said his daughter was 'pushed into the side netting of the trampoline' - and 'fell out'. 'Luckily she was okay,' he assured. 'We've taken pictures. We took pictures straight away of the net to show that it was torn and how she fell out.' He explained that, however, the following morning he heard knocking from a site 'warden' at his door, saying she was 'shouting': 'You must pay for the net!' 'So what has happened is the families of the other children, the French families staying in the caravans over there, which are right next to the trampoline, who I think are long term stayers, have all coincidentally got the story from their children and messaged the person to say our children were picking apart and tearing the net... and that's what's caused it to break,' he said. James then shared a clip of his conversation with someone at the campsite, which appears to have been facilitated by a translator on the phone - who also works at Camping des Lancieres. The woman on the other line appeared to be trying to get James's side across to the warden, in French saying: 'They seem to be saying they took the kids away... that it wasn't them.' In return however, the warden sarcastically quipped: 'Yeah right, they're angels.' Then, she claimed the family 'left rubbish everywhere'. She added: 'You can tell them if they cause another problem they're being kicked out because other campers are fed up.' James also denied claims that he and his family were leaving trash around the site. 'She's pointing out that I left a tissue,' he said in the clip, trying to speak to the warden. 'She said, you're leaving rubbish I could work out. You're saying you're leaving rubbish on the floor. It was under the door. When I've opened the door, it's fallen off the counter... Look at this plastic that's not even ours.' 'How can we have a conversation when you're walking away?' he continued. 'Because every time I try and speak to her, she's just walking away. 'She's received emails from other families that we've done something, when clearly she's made up her mind. I can only assume that it's the English family's fault. She just didn't like us.' It did however also seem there were language barriers in place, and it is unclear if both parties truly understood one another. 'This is the worst experience of my life. I feel like they've clearly ganged up on us,' James said. 'We're the English family. We struggle. We speak a little bit of French, but not much.' Commenters appeared divided, and as while many voiced their support, others insisted James's family should pay for the net MailOnline has reached out to the family and the campsite for comment. Commenters appeared divided, and as while many voiced their support, others insisted James's family should pay for the net. 'I'm so sorry this happened to you!' one wrote. 'I'm a Brit living in France and do feel like the the French always side with their own as I've had a few similar issues here with French neighbours in my apartment building (not the same issue I know, but I do understand your situation a little bit!)... 'It's such a shame and I hope you got it sorted in the end.' One also recounted: 'Not being funny but I've noticed a lot of micro aggressions over seating in cafes and restaurants - parking at tourist destinations, taxi drivers, passport control and even beach chairs. 'I've traveled in remote areas of Africa and Asia for 25 years and never had so much low level snark from people clearly annoyed by strangers and perhaps over tourism. Literally in the last 2-3 years I'm a Gen X so am pretty laid back and not about it. 'I also live in a tourist area in the UK so am very respectful of locals when I travel abroad because I know what a pain tourists can be. I think humans have changed since Covid - road rage, Reform, Trump. It's not you mate.' Others however appeared to site with the campsite. One questioned: 'Why didn't you report to the campsite owners if you had nothing to hide.' 'Families will always side with their own children, even if they are in the wrong, no matter what the country, these days,' elsewhere, someone penned. 'Tourism is taking the back lash for the immigration crisis, today. 'Most of the countries that rely on tourists are taking their frustrations out on the tourists. It's very sad. 'And yes, there are terrible tourists that can't behave themselves, mainly adults.' The campsite has largely positive reviews on TripAdvisor, with a 4.3/5 score. Reviewers said the accommodation is 'restful' and service is 'top notch'. The Daurats call themselves a 'home education family' and share their travels on social media, with their children Henri, nine, Genevive and Gabriel, who will be one in October.

Christian Horner's arch rival sticks the boot in: McLaren boss Zak Brown insists he's 'not surprised' by nemesis' sacking as Formula One prepares for first race without Geri Halliwell's husband following brutal axing
McLaren chief Zak Brown has aimed a dig at his nemesis Christian Horner after he was sacked by Red Bull. Horner, 51, was relieved of his duties earlier this month after 20 years in charge of the constructor, which under his leadership won eight drivers' championships and six constructors' championships. Horner's dismissal came a year and a half after he was caught up in a major controversy that threatened to engulf the entire team. He was accused of sexual harassment and coercive and controlling behaviour by a female employee following the revelation of alleged sex texts sent by the 51-year-old, who is married to former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell. He was twice cleared, initially after an internal investigation conducted by a lawyer, and then by another lawyer who dismissed the female employee's appeal. Horner has strongly denied the claims throughout. But while Red Bull backed their man throughout the unfolding saga in 2024, relations have undoubtedly cooled in the following months before he was dismissed. And Brown, who had a long-running rivalry with Horner, was asked about the Brit's dismissal ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix, the first race since his exit. 'I'm maybe [surprised by] the timing, but not the result,' Brown told Canadian TV channel TSN. 'I think there's been a lot of drama there the last couple of years, and it doesn't seem like that drama has been calming down - maybe been getting worse. 'So, I'm not surprised, anytime in the middle of the season. But we're head down on our championship. They've got Max [Verstappen] still knocking on the door, so we've got to pay attention to that. But, yeah, tremendous amount of success they've had.' Horner has been replaced as Red Bull team principal by Laurent Mekies and is expected to serve a period of gardening leave until the end of this year. And when asked what the future holds for Horner, Brown felt this wasn't the end of the 51-year-old's career. 'Given his age and his history in motor racing, I'd be surprised if he didn't show up somewhere in motor racing,' the American added. 'But I don't know his other interests, whether he wants to go run a football team or what have you. So, we'll see.' Brown's rivalry with Horner came to the fore on Netflix's Drive to Survive documentary, with fans accustomed to their intense relationship. Brown also backed the 51-year-old to return to motorsport in some form in the future Although the documentary is based on true events, there have been claims of some issues being dramatised further. However, when speaking to The Telegraph in March, Brown insisted his turbulent relationship with Horner is real. Brown had said: 'Oh, it's genuine. There's no love lost there. I don't like how he rolls and no doubt he feels the same about me. 'But I think it's good for the sport. You need different characters. You need these rivalries. Some are friendly, sporting rivalries. Some are a bit more vicious. It's always been like that.'
