Bedbug infestation is a real scourge for many French people, painful and difficult to get rid of. This is the nightmare experienced by Nawal, who claims to have brought the parasites back to her home after several visits to the UGC cinema in Bercy village. In a series of tweets, and then in a statement to Le Parisien newspaper, the regular cinema-goer denounced the massive presence of bedbugs in the rooms of this cinema in the 12th arrondissement, and asserted that the teams on site were aware of the problem, and were doing nothing to resolve it.
#Paris12 Friends of mine have just passed on this publication on Nextdoor, and I have confirmation from the employees, who are themselves fed up.

Management brought in dogs, bedbugs CONFIRMED, AND afterwards, NO treatment of the rooms.
Totally irresponsible. ‼️‼️‼️ pic.twitter.com/iMHxPMV0iJ
Afterwards, Nawal simply asked the UGC Bercy for compensation, but the cinema's only response was to offer her a free ticket. Bedbugs have also been reported in theatres atUGC Les Halles, the busiest cinema in Paris(and indeed the world).
