- Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc on the French Riviera has banned unauthorised photo shoots following complaints from regular guests.
- Non-overnight visitors with lunch or dinner reservations were spending hours posing for photos with multiple outfit changes rather than dining.
- Hotel manager Sophie Volant introduced house rules inspired by private members' clubs to preserve the privacy of loyal, repeat guests.
- Under the new policy, photo shoots are prohibited, photography and phone calls are banned by the pool, and dress codes are enforced.
- While casual photos are permitted in select areas such as the main promenade, staff will intervene if the privacy of other guests is disrupted.
