Guaranteeing security on the leisure island of Cergy-Pontoise (Val-d’Oise) looks like an endless quest. While the organizers have set up an unprecedented device around the bathing area, an accident occurred on Wednesday June 28. A three-and-a-half-year-old girl almost lost her life last week. “Around 4:35 p.m., a mother came to see us to tell us that she had lost her daughter,” says Fabien Franc, director of the leisure island. The little one had no armbands. She was in her aunt’s arms, with a group of several adults. “She said to the security guard: I keep her in my arms,” ​​he says.
