Dreaming of watching your dog gallop through the Atlantic surf or splash in the Mediterranean? While municipal summer bans apply in tourist centers between June 15 and September 15, hundreds of authorized dog beaches exist across France.
Between October 1 and May 31, almost 80% of beaches in France open to dogs without restriction. In July and August, look for beaches displaying the green "Chiens autorisés" badge, or visit before 9:00 AM and after 7:00 PM when many town halls lift restrictions.
