Lifting of bathing bans on community beaches

This authorization takes place after the bathing water analysis report has been submitted by the regional health agency (ARS).

I was expecting something different because of the topic title. Was ready for a thread that was going to go nowhere good. LOL

Not for nothing, but there are no beach restaurants, no bathrooms and I would be leery sunbathing without the Gendarmerie on Orient beach. Before you had the beach waiters keeping an eye out for those less honorable as well.

The water may be clean, but on Grand Case Beach there is still a lot of debris in the water. As for Orient, there are few people there, it's been perfectly safe.
