A very sensible questions.

It all depends on where you are, and what the locals are doing. Look around you and then make your decision! The current buzz in France is that ladies are tending to cover up rather than reveal all this summer.

Thank you for your advice - I don't want to upset anyone by showing too much!

Yes I read in the French press yesterday that the 'topless' trend is very much down, especially amongst the young, as they are 'fed up with being stared at by boys'.

Mind you, where I am right now in France it has been raining all day, so everyone looks like they are dressed for the fishing fleets.

But, ordinarily, no-one seems to bat an eye at topless. Certainly there is none of the 'tut-tutting' you would expect in England. Go with the flow, as said above.

Quite so, as there is a weather front moving west to east. In MY part we have just had yet another record 30 °C day and are looking forward to some rain tomorrow. But it's NOT all doom and gloom as good weather will be returning midweek ....................

It is ALWAYS sensible to dress appropriately when in another country so that you don't stick out or offend others.

Definitely a tricky subject

If anyone is having trouble making their mind up, send their pics to me via a PM and i'll help with your decision. It's a hard job as HT's official 'topless' decision maker, but someone has to do it
