For the aperitif on the beach, we will still have to wait.
The prefect of Ille-et-Vilaine fears that the coast will turn into a place of celebration for the Ascension and Pentecost bridges.
To calm the cravings for "bamboche", he has just issued a decree prohibiting the consumption of alcohol on the beaches, dykes and walks along the coast of Ille-et-Vilaine.
The measure, already taken during the Easter weekend, will be in effect from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. until May 31 inclusive.
Any offender incurs a fixed fine of 135 euros and "a fine of 1,500 euros to 3,000 euros in the event of a repeat offense within fifteen days" specifies the prefecture in a press release.
The sanction can even be increased to "six months' imprisonment and a fine of 3,750 euros, together with the additional penalty of community service in the event of a violation more than three times within a period of thirty days".
To justify his decision, the prefect of Ille-et-Vilaine evokes the epidemiological situation in the department "where the incidence rate still reached 162.3 cases per 100,000 inhabitants" Friday.
