The Mediterranean coast town of Agde may be known for its beautiful sandy beaches and year-round sunshine, but it also has a reputation for wild sex parties.
The city is home to the largest sports community in Europe.
But now, the French city has been "hijacked" by a completely new scandal, writes the BBC.
It's about a local fortune teller and the town's mayor, Gilles d'Ettore, a former secret service officer and police officer.
Both are now in jail pending judicial investigation. The fortune teller, Sophia Martinez, is accused of embezzling money from the mayor, while he himself is accused of corruption and spending large sums of taxpayers' money on himself.
Ms. Martinez claimed to be able to speak with the dead.
When the mayor asked her to put him in touch with his late father, she succeeded. During the sessions, her voice would suddenly change and take on the tone of the mayor's father.
During the last four years, it is claimed that she has manipulated the mayor in person and by phone.
He received thousands of mysterious calls from the "voices" of the dead, including angels, some of them asking the mayor to help the fortune teller.
The mayor allegedly paid for luxury vacations for Ms. Martinez and her family, including Polynesia and Thailand, all using public funds.
It is said that the "voices" convinced her to hire several members of her family to work for the city council and also to renovate her house.
Local businesses with ties to the mayor did the work for free for fear of losing future contracts with him.
