In summer, few beaches allow them. In Saint-Briac-sur-Mer, in Ille-et-Vilaine, the city has decided to dedicate a beach to dogs, a cani-beach.

Bask in the sun, on the hot sand, take a sea bath in complete freedom, it is now possible all year round, for dogs. The beach of Saint-Briac-sur-Mer (Ille-et-Vilaine) is accessible to them even during the summer. Dogs and their owners dreamed of it. “It’s very good, because it allows the dogs to stretch themselves a little bit. (…) It’s good to have a small place to be able to bring them“, said a man. “He needs to let off steam, we also need the beach. Waiting until the end of September is a bit long, so even if it’s very small, it’s very good“, assures a woman.

Demonstrate civility

This life-size test, it is the town hall of Saint-Briac who wished it, thus responding to a strong demand from its citizens. Tertre Pelé beach was chosen because it is the least frequented of the seaside resort. In a few days, a bag dispenser and garbage cans will be installed, because experimentation will have to rhyme with cleanliness. “Dog owners really need to be civil, be reasonable and leave the beach as clean as possible“, declares Philippe Fourneyron, mayor (SE) of Saint-Briac-sur-Mer (Ille-et-Vilaine). Here, there are no restrictions, even the leash is not compulsory. A unique place on the Emerald Coast.
