It is therefore easy to imagine the disappointment of those who would have liked to be able to cool off in the sea. Except that a “No swimming” sign will force potential bathers to turn around. Surveys from the Regional Health Agency (ARS) of Normandy, carried out on Wednesday June 15 on the beaches of Ravenoville – Les dunes and La Hague / Urville showed significant bacteriological contamination. The ARS therefore encouraged the municipalities of Sainte-Mère-Eglise and La Hague “to issue a municipal decree prohibiting bathing from June 17”. Until June 30 The municipalities have therefore issued decrees to this effect. The municipality of Sainte-Mère-Eglise, specifies that the ban on swimming in Ravenoville-Plage and Foucarville-Plage is valid until June 30. In La Hague, the ban on swimming in Urville-Nacqueville is valid, for the moment, until June 21. New samples should be taken on Monday June 20, 2022, to follow the evolution of these contaminations.
