‘A little decorum, please!’: Shirtless tourists face hefty fine in French holiday hotspot
The holiday hotspot cracking down on ‘half-naked’ tourists
- The French seaside resort of Les Sables-d'Olonne has implemented a ban on “half-naked” tourists walking shirtless or in swimsuits in its town centre.
- Mayor Yannick Moreau stated the rule addresses 'indecent behaviour' and promotes 'respect' and 'public hygiene'.
- Tourists found violating the ban away from the beach face fines of up to €150 (£130).
- Municipal police officers have been instructed to enforce the new regulation.
- This measure follows similar actions in other tourist destinations, such as Albufeira in Portugal, which proposed fines for holidaymakers in swimwear in the city.
