I think that the language of the new regulation is broader than many thought - because they hoped it was not so broad. I read the ban on the lounge chairs and umbrellas on the beach (however beach is defined) as being a total ban - unless and until new authorizations are obtained. I wonder if this is to help a few "preferred" friends and family. Have to see how it plays out on the chairs and umbrellas. Also the documents generally are using the term Collectivitie - which is the word for the entire french side - but it gets translated by the computer as "community" which can suggest a lesser reach than what is really enacted. For example, the reference to trying harder to keep stray animals and nudists off the beaches is general as to the entire Collectivitie, not just the Grande Case "community." Have to see how this gets enforced or not.
