Along the coast in Cannes, a mother of two told AFP on Tuesday she had been fined on the beach for wearing leggings, a tunic and a headscarf.
The mayor of Cannes' ruling
- "Access to beaches and for swimming is banned to any person wearing improper clothes that are not respectful of good morals and secularism."
- "Beachwear which ostentatiously displays religious affiliation, when France and places of worship are currently the target of terrorist attacks, is liable to create risks of disrupting public order."
- The infringement is punishable with a fine of €38 (£33)
- The ban remains in place until 31 August 2016
