The municipality, in figures

The municipality

Ouessant is a small municipality measuring 8 by 5 kilometres, spread over 2 separate pieces. It has a coastline, and that matters: the strip of maritime-terrestrial public domain is governed by its own rule, different from that of the rest of the municipality. Within its boundaries there are 2 protected areas, including Ouessant-Molène. There, the rules on permitted uses are set by each area's own plan.

protected zone
2 areas: Ouessant-Molène · Ouessant-Molène
Protected-area designation: the rule of the protected area applies here in addition to the municipal one, and it usually makes the penalty harsher.

On the beach the answer is no even if the municipality is permissive: the prohibition is national and needs no sign.
Neighbouring municipalities
Signage on site and the local authority prevail. This reproduces the written rule as of the date indicated: it is neither legal advice nor an authorisation.
