A man died on Sunday after drowning in one of the beaches in Cap Ferret. The coastline had been placed on “maximum alert’ due to strong baïnes this weekend.
The victim was pulled out of the water by witnesses while a family called for help. Died despite the cardiopulmonary massage given to him by the emergency services, the forty-year-old was from the Paris region. The water at 14 degrees, swells between 1.50 and 1.80 meters and strong currents conducive to bathing, it is recommended to enter the ocean with the greatest caution and only in supervised swimming areas.. Despite the return of good weather in Gironde, "we don't last long and we get tired quickly" insists the mayor of Lège-Cap-Ferret, Philippe de Gonneville. The man who died in the bay was in cardiorespiratory arrest. He underwent resuscitation but died, the Gironde firefighters explained to our AFP colleagues.
