RULES ON DOG FOULING
For obvious reasons of hygiene and health, dog mess is prohibited on pavements, public roads, green spaces and children's play areas.
Given the nuisance dog mess can cause (visual, smell, health, or damage to public space), article R632-1 of the Penal Code and article R541-76 of the Environment Code class dog mess in the same category as waste, rubbish and unsanitary liquids.
As a result, failing to pick up after your dog on the public highway exposes the owner to a 2nd-class fine. The fine in this case is €35 and may be increased by municipalities that wish to (in some towns it reaches €450).
