The municipality, in figures
The municipality
Carcans is a large municipality measuring 24 by 13 kilometres. 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 4 protected areas, including Dunes du littoral girondin de la Pointe de Grave au Cap Ferret. There, the rules on permitted uses are set by each area's own plan. It borders 8 municipalities, and the answer may change on crossing any of those lines.

Ordenanza de Carcans
- The document itself DELEGATES the conditions to another instrument: the permit is on record, but the detail of its conditions has not been read.
- Scope: the document says «todo el término» in the immediately following paragraph, not within the quotation itself.

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.

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.
