We are off to to France and hearing rumours that Speedos are compulsory. Is this true?

It’s true, due to some ancient law. We are having the same issue as this years camp site has a pool.

Speedos v Trunks in swimming pools in France

A law in France forces men of all ages and sizes to wear speedo type pants to public swimming pools, those of a delicate nature look away now...

Yep true! I took a pair of swimming shorts made by Speedo and with the brand Speedo written down 1 leg but they wouldn't let me in. They need to rephrase it as the Budgysmuggler rule.

Yes, but not everywhere. And it's not always enforced. And besides the classic speedos, there are other allowed options, like swimming trunks. I believe the idea behind it is that they don't want people in the pools with normal shorts that are worn in other situations then swimming (in the city or on a hike, etc), so the pool doesnt get too dirty. But it's a bit outdated if you ask me.

Not compulsory everywhere

The French would wouldn't be seen dead in anything else. Same goes for Australia where the budgy smuggler is king.

The world isn't ready for me in Speedos. Classic ex-prop forward dad body.

In swimming pools, yes. Lakes/rivers/sea is whatever you like...

But it's the same for all, so it's not like you'll stand out...
