Dogs are allowed on many beaches in France, but rules change by region and season. In summer (June to September), most beaches ban dogs or limit access. Leashes are required near swimming areas. In the off-season (October to May), dogs can roam more freely.

Check local beach rules before your holiday, as they vary by location and time of year.
