Lyon establishment ‘The Truth’ sanctioned with two-month closure

The establishment ‘The Truth’ in Lyon has been sanctioned with a two-month administrative closure by the prefecture. The decision follows repeated infractions, including the illicit resale of alcohol and tobacco, and the absence of a required beverage license.

Authorities intervened at the premises on June 8, 2026, following reports of noise disturbances involving approximately fifty people. During the intervention, individuals were found consuming alcohol and hookah tobacco of unverified legal origin. This follows a history of similar violations, including previous closures in early 2025 and late 2025 due to fraudulent tobacco possession and client brawls.
