The 'No Smoking' Beach

One of Menton's beaches - Plage Fossan - has been made into a 'No Smoking' beach this summer. They even provide an ashtray to use before you enter. According to Nice-Matin it has proved unpopular. This is also a 'No Dog' beach but Menton does have three beaches that allow dogs - woof woof!

Une des plages de Menton - la Plage du Fossan - a été décrétée plage «Sans Tabac» cet été. On fournit même un cendrier à utiliser avant d'entrer. Selon Nice-Matin, elle s'est avérée impopulaire. Cette plage est aussi «Interdite aux Chiens» mais Menton propose trois plages qui acceptent les chiens - ouaf ouaf!

No, no, no,no, no, no...Kind of unsettling at times.

I think this is progress. At least people have a choice. They can go to the smoking beach or the non-smoking beach, right?

I just got back from Menton and was at that same beach. I did see people smoking.
In the evening lots of people brought there dogs. One person, their dog, a rather large one, maybe a German Shepard, had an "accident" on the beach and the woman didn't curb it. It was pretty disgusting.

Great idea...I hate being outside, at the beach, enjoying the fresh air and having smoke waft across me. It's not as if they have been left without other options.
