French man Hervé, 56, says he offered part of his renovated former inn in Saint-Juvat, Brittany, to a Mauritian family reported to be living in France without legal status after learning they faced spending the winter on the streets.
The relationship later deteriorated, with Hervé revealing that the migrants targeted him with repeated antisocial behavior, threats, intimidation and damage to his vehicle. After he refused to renew the family’s temporary lease and asked them to leave, they remained in the property, prompting him to begin eviction proceedings.
Hervé says repeated court delays have prevented him from regaining possession of the home he spent five years renovating, forcing him to move out while the legal process continues. He says he is now considering selling the property.
