New French Fines Startle Tourists
Vernon Coleman
Anyone who wolf whistles in France will, in future, be fined approximately £300 (though probably in some scruffy local currency).
Other fines of a similar nature are being considered. I have obtained a list of the offences and the fines which are likely to be introduced. Some of the offences are actions and some are unsuitable remarks.
Please note that only foreigners will be fined.
