suein56 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I just love this bit :Le maire UMP a été réélu au premier tourLes 4032 habitants permanents de cette station du littoral, qui passe à 80 000 habitants l'été, l'ont réélu au premier tour en mars avec 54,63 % des voix.Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomoss Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I don't see anything wrong with looking after the old folk. Le Barcarès has a very good income from some 75,000 summer visitors each year, and from the taxes on the thousands of empty holiday homes.Very little happens there for the other 9 or 10 months, and the annual event was a highlight when we lived there.Edit: Also a small compensation for putting up with the yahoos during the summer [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
