A caution has been issued by a travel specialist to vacationers considering swimming in France. Planning a dip in one of France’s numerous public pools this year? Be aware of a specific health regulation that could impact your holiday. In France, men are required to wear ‘tight-fitting swimwear’ like Speedos at most public pools, including those in major cities such as Paris, Lyon, and Marseille. This regulation, dating back to 1903, is strictly enforced to maintain hygiene standards. Failure to comply could result in being denied access to the pool. While some may find this rule outdated, it is aimed at ensuring cleanliness in the pools. Eurocamp, a holiday park chain in France, also advises on the swimwear rules, emphasizing the importance of tighter swimwear for hygiene reasons. It is recommended to check and adhere to these regulations before heading to a public pool in France to avoid any inconvenience.
