It’s a security measure which was claimed by the president of the Court of Appeal of Rouen herself, Marie-Christine Leprince, and who has just made her appearance in the Courthouse. The gates on the street side to the Jews are now lined with glass plates, new barriers to avoid interactions between the interior and the exterior, once the security gate has been passed.
Avoid the introduction of weapons
“You can very well retrieve a weapon through the bars. This is not normal, ”Marie-Christine Leprince explained to 76 news, in September 2021. Other points remain to be settled, to make this palace all its splendor, probably less obvious once inside. Also in September, the president reported a dry rot on a floor, which was being treated, upgrades necessary, especially for the risk of fire.
An ambitious project to reorganize and renovate the Courthouse in Rouen has in any case been proposed to the Ministry of Justice, including work that will be carried out in installments, over a period of five to seven years.
