# RendezNousLaMer… Since Prime Minister Edouard Philippe ruled out opening access to the beaches before at least June 1, calls are multiplying to “free the Breton beaches” from May 11, and for reasoned access to the coast . “In Brittany, our beaches are our parks and gardens. I plead that, under the authority of the mayors, we can reopen them as quickly as possible without taking risks for our health ”, tweeted region president Loïg Chesnais-Girard (PS) on Thursday.
The four departments of Brittany, the first coastal region in coastal kilometers, are classified in green according to the map published Thursday by the government with a view to deconfinement. "Our beaches and coasts are not exactly the same as those of the Côte-d'Azur in view of the low pressure of the epidemic and the configuration of most of our beaches," notes Loïg Chesnais-Girard.
Exceptions
"From May 11 we can walk within a radius of 100 km in the parks and woods of the" green "departments and we would not be able to do it on the strikes and coastal paths of Brittany? "Questions Dominique Cap, president of the association of mayors of Finistère, who sent a letter to the Prime Minister with other mayors of the region. Likewise, he underlines, "we will have the right to cycle alone but not canoeing or windsurfing, and the recreational fishermen will not be able to go out either, it is illogical".
"It is necessary that the opening becomes again the rule and the closing, via a decree, the exception", pleads Dominique Cap, making the difference between "an urban beach at the time of a sunny bridge which can pose problem", and the access to thousands of kilometers of wild coastline. Alain Cadec, LR president of Côtes d'Armor, is campaigning for organized access "to the beaches" in compliance with health recommendations and under the authority of mayors ".
A petition launched Tuesday to the four prefects of the Atlantic coast has collected more than 26,000 signatures. It calls for a reopening of the beaches on the coast "for surfers, swimmers, joggers, walkers and any other person practicing physical activity for a fixed period without regrouping". In a press release, the Brittany Marina Association also wanted a return to “freedom of navigation” from May 11.
