A bikini or burkini? This is the debate that is going on across France at the moment.
It began with the cancellation of a 'burkini' event at a water theme park in Marseilles.
Then just a few kilometres away from where the Nice attacks happened last month, the Riviera town of Cannes banned the full-body swimsuit on its public beaches.
French Prime Minister Manuel Valls has expressed his support saying the swimsuit represents what he calls a provocation and an archaic vision.
While only a small number of women have reportedly been fined $43 for breaking the new rule, several other towns have followed suit.
On Sunday, four people were injured in the town of Sisco in Corsica, during a brawl between locals and a group of women dressed in burkinis.
The incident led to a local rally where 500 people gathered in the island's capital Bastia.
Is this about secularism or keeping France safe? And what does it mean for muslim communities across Europe?
