Nine drowned in one week, in the Herault

In the Depeche the number is seven on the TV nine, all drowned whilst holidaying in the Languedoc region. Many of the beaches are controlled but swimmers do not really understand the strength of the sea and where the currents are and many swim outside  the controlled areas. In Landes a 15 year old boy on the first day of his holiday was drowned off the camp site where they had arrived the day previously, his body has yet to be found. Why do we all take excessive risks on holiday?

And another small child drowned whilst being looked after by grandparents
Samedi soir à Rieumes, un petit de garçon a échappé à la vigilance de ses grands-parents. Il a été retrouvé dans la piscine. L’enfant n’a pas pu être ranimé.


Paris’ fire and rescue services have warned revellers not to swim in the city’s canals, saying three people have lost their lives since the beginning of the summer.
