The likely visit of Saudi Arabia's king to his family's French Riviera mansion has stirred the ire of beachgoers who will be banned from a stretch of sand. King Salman is expected to vacation soon at the mansion that sits above an isolated, but public, beach near Juan-les-Pins. Despite protests, the region's state official, Philippe Castanet, said the beach would be temporarily closed if the king visits. "If he [the king] comes ... which is almost certain, the beach will be closed. We do the same kind of thing for all heads of state for security reasons," officials said.
