“Cecile Kohler and Jacques Paris are free and on their way to French territory after three and a half years of detention in Iran. It is a relief for all of us, and of course for their families,” Macron said on X.

He thanked Omani authorities for their mediation efforts, as well as state services and citizens who contributed to securing their return.

Kohler, a literature teacher, and her companion Jacques Paris were arrested in May 2022 during a tourist trip to Iran.

Iranian authorities had accused them of espionage, while France described them as “state hostages.”

Although they were released in November 2025, they remained under a travel ban in Iran until their departure.
