Privatisation of the beaches in France

20% of the beaches in France are now under the control of private companies.

In France there should not be private beaches.

In Paris there is a ministry of the environment that looks over and should protect  the French coastline, sea and land.

However it seems that the local councils have been selling out the rights on the beaches to rich developers and businessmen that privatise the coast which drives out the ordinary people.

Cote d'Azur, Cannes, places in Brittany throughout France the beaches and the coasts are  becoming an area  for  the rich with a security cordon to protect.
