French Resort Town Cracks Down on Semi-Naked Tourists
Les Sables d’Olonne, a French resort town, has implemented fines of up to 150 euros for individuals found walking around “half-naked” outside of designated beach areas. Mayor Yannick Moreau cited respect for locals and hygiene as the primary reasons for the new regulations, which are designed to be enforced by local police. This move follows similar actions in other French towns, such as Arcachon and La Grande-Motte, who have also targeted indecent exposure. This is part of a larger trend, as authorities in cities like Malaga, Spain, have also taken measures to address inappropriate public behavior with corresponding fines.
