Not true. The European commission has already stated that France are within their rights to stop them entering the country. Freedom of movement within the EU does not apply to people with temporary residence permits.

EU spokesman Michele Cercone also said the residence permits were not visas, and France was under no obligation to admit people having neither EU visas nor EU passports.
