Barbecue grill placement rules on a plot

France · Auxiliary · usually lightweight

A barbecue is generally allowed in a private garden, but during dry-season periods the préfet may restrict or ban open flames; keep a clear, non-flammable area around it and well away from buildings and hedges.

Placement rules

A brazier has a smaller fire-safety envelope than an open campfire, but still needs a clear area.
