Europe, flight access refused because of expired ID (proof of renewal)

Europe, flight access refused because of expired ID (proof of renewal) - Tanning Photography of Flying Eagle-owl

A friend of mine tried to take a flight from France to Spain last week but his ID was expired (French ID), it is commonly known that even though the ID is expired it is still valid for some times (4 or 5 years apparently).

Though he renewed it a few days before taking the flight so he got a paper proving that he did it and that is supposedly mean to avoid this kind of situation.

Was the person who denied him the access to the plane right ?
