An Israeli family visiting Paris was denied service at a hotel after an attendant noticed their Israeli passports, continuing a record spike in antisemitism across France that has increasingly led to violence against the Jewish community.
According to the French magazine Le Point, the Israeli family of three intended to spend three nights in Paris. Although they had booked their Novotel Paris Porte de Versailles hotel room online, an attendant informed the family, after seeing their Israeli passports, that the price of the room had increased.
“He completely changed face,” the father said in a complaint to French authorities, according to the publication.

Le Chagrin Et La Pitié, Part Deux.
bet the atendent was a recent immigrant from Africa or the middle east
If I were Samantha Stevens (Bewitched), I’d wrinkle my nose and destroy the hotel in an instant, before the clerk could say, “Whaaaa...?” I’d destroy every other hotel that showed blatant antisemitism, too. They want something to complain about, they’ll get it.
I had a one night stay at “The Paris Hilton” about 7 years ago.
I wondered the whole time if I should use extra protection.
I really hate how Paris treats anyone not French and decided I’d never return.
