But in the 30 towns where the ban is in place, how many fines have actually been issued? Across the country, just 30 fines have been handed out to women wearing the full-body bathing suit - and all 30 of them were issued in just two towns. One French businessman even began a fund to pay the €38 fine for wearers of the burqini. On Friday afternoon, France's top administrative court will decide if the burqini ban is legal, setting a precedent for the other towns where it is in place.
