Either you are not from France or your French is a wreck. There's nothing wrong with that sign, and is plain correct French. What it pretty much says is:

For your own safety, be careful during cleaning operations of the waterbody.

Respect the environment, don't leave your trash on the beach.

Respect the current nautical regulations.

For more information, check with the beach supervisors at the aid stations.

The city of Menton is grateful and wishes you a pleasant stay.

Though I'm not from France nor am I a native French speaker.

Epic Fail.

You're missing the point. The post was what was actually printed on the sign in English as the translation of the French.

You are the epic fail.

You should see some of the T-Shirts in Japan.

Well at least in the 90's, a lot of them were crazy... one had an ice rink with cute little penguins playing hockey, with little comic balloons and writings such as "#@!$" and "What the hell?"

I laughed so hard. You gotta love literal or uneducated translations.

Don't get me started on incorrect use of Chinese/Japanese as tattoo's xD

    • This 4K webcam from Acer is now only $59.99

      This 4K webcam from Acer is now only $59.99 by Taras Buria Those looking for an affordable, high-resolution webcam from a reputable manufacturer can check out the latest deal from Acer, which puts its 4K webcam at a solid price. Thanks to a 14% discount, you can buy this all-metal 4K webcam from Acer for just $59.99. Despite the affordable price tag, the webcam has a pretty large 1/2" CMOS sensor manufactured by Sony. Apart from its size, it supports additional conveniences, such as high dynamic range and phase-detection autofocus (PDAF). Plus, the camera ensures you do not have to buy additional audio equipment, as it comes with two built-in high-sensitivity microphones, a built-in background noise filter, and the ability to pick up your voice from up to 2.5 meters away. Acer is not cheaping out on materials, and the webcam is enclosed in a more premium metal case, which is also good at heat dissipation (high-resolution cameras can get quite hot). And to make sure no one is peeping at you when the camera is in use, there is a magnetic cover also made of metal. Additional conveniences include an LED status indicator and a built-in mount that lets you place a camera on a tripod.
