"Prohibition of swimming and recreational activities in Grand-Case and the Oriental Bay Due to poor quality swimming waters at Grand-Case Beach and Orient Bay Beach, swimming and water recreation activities are prohibited from July 18, 2024 until further notice. The decision was made on the basis of recommendations from health and safety services, and was made official by an arrest issued by the Chairman of the Community. "

Someone tell the French Gov't guys to let us know next time of "whatever this non-swimming thing is" https://www.facebook.com/prefet971/

Don't spread BS info. Calm down. I have no idea if it is factual or not but it is being mentioned and here is a possible source. I know not everything posted on facebook is factual but until this can be proven different, it appears there might be an issue. Attached Files J.D.

You mentioned "my rental", as in a property you are currently renting yourself or you have to rent to others? You were pretty adamant about the situation. We are done here. Which is something you originally wanted so it has now happened. J.D.
