The manager of a leisure park in southern France has been detained for alleged religious discrimination after a group of Israeli children were refused access.

The children, aged eight to 16, were on holiday in Spain and had made a reservation for Thursday to use the Tyrovol zipline adventure park in Porte-Puymorens, near the Spanish border in the Pyrenees mountains, the Perpignan prosecutor's office said.
