Paris bans nude tanning
Filed Under Hot off the Press
It must be burning hot in Europe, especially in Rome and Paris this summer. Yet, worried about encouraging an excess of pasty white skin on the banks of the River Seine, the Paris city hall has banned, among others, thong bikinis and topless sunbathing, not to mention outright nudity at the summer event known as Paris Beaches, Le Parisien reported yesterday. Defaulters face a fine.
Still, seasoned travellers know better than to visit Europe in the summer, when gridlock rules the streets and every attraction boasts endless, snaking queues. It’s time instead to be heading down under for some cool weather and great scenery, maybe some camping at Kakadu National Park ( http://www.travelt.com/darwin/index.html ).
