Originally I saw a blurb on Le Monde's index page, but that is gone now. From this article:

http://www.lemonde.fr/ameriques/article/2013/07/03/une-rumeur-sur-snowden-provoque-une-crise-diplomatique-entre-paris-et-la-paz_3440849_3222.html

"Après une matinée de grande confusion, le président bolivien, Evo Morales, a décollé mercredi 3 juillet de Vienne, où il se trouvait depuis la veille au soir après avoir été, selon lui, interdit de survol de plusieurs pays européens à son retour de Moscou. La France, le Portugal, l'Espagne et l'Italie soupçonnent l'avion d'abriter Edward Snowden . . . "

This is somewhat less specific, but basically says that several European countries denied the plane entry, and that France, Portugal, Spain, and Italy suspected the plane of having Snowden on board.
