No Swimming

On the Normandy Coast (Normandie) coast in France, I spied this sign. No swimming. But sailing and motor sports are permitted. I liked the symmetry of this sign and the permitted uses. In the U.S., we tell people what they can’t do (no swimming, no sunbathing, no drinking, etc.), but in France they also tell you what you can do. It’s all very intelligent.
