    Burkini ban: Second French Riviera resort follows Cannes as mayor says Muslim beachwear 'unwelcome'

    'In France, one does not come to the beach dressed to display religious convictions,' mayor says

    A second French Riviera resort has announced a ban against “burkinis” as uproar continues over the prohibition in Cannes.

    Lionnel Luca, the mayor of Villeneuve-Loubet, said the prohibition of full-body swimsuits worn by some Muslim women was for sanitary reasons.

    “I was told that there was a couple on one of our beaches where the wife was swimming fully dressed, and I considered that unacceptable for hygienic reasons and unwelcome given the general situation,” he told the AFP news agency.


    “In France, one does not come to the beach dressed to display one’s religious convictions, especially as they are false convictions that the religion does not demand.”
