Thanks to reports from our partner cities and submissions from our readers, Frequence-sud.fr updates this list daily with beaches where jellyfish have been spotted in the past 48 hours.
Jellyfish Observations in Coastal Areas
Jellyfish have been spotted in several coastal communities. Swimming is still possible, but caution is advised, especially with young children.
Their increase is linked to rising water temperatures and currents. Carried by currents and wind, their arrival is unpredictable. Usually found in deep waters, currents occasionally bring them to shores and beaches.

If you spot a jellyfish, please report it (check the beach concerned and click "report jellyfish" or in the map below)
