Argelès: France's capital of camping • FRANCE 24 English

One of the most popular holiday destinations for French people is the campsite. Argelès-sur-Mer, in the eastern Pyrenees, is the town with the largest amount of camping accommodation in Europe. In the summer, this Western corner of the Mediterranean sees its population increase tenfold. We meet two brothers who run a campsite in Argelès.

The most important things are the sun on your skin and the fresh air. No pollution.

Yes I found the arm gunman with the premeditated falsified information on my children to be extreme pollution it was bad enough on me especially as my money was being stolen. Do you happen to know whose Department it is for jurisdiction it's supposed to be to prevent terrorists from kidnapping and armed robbery?

I had many summer holidays in the 70's and 80's as a kid in Angeles sur Mer.. I can still remember swimming in the sea and being able to see the Pyrenees is the distance, or the call of African immigrants crying, "Demande des chouchous" as they sold what I think were honey roasted peanuts as they walked up and down the beach. My parents made friends with a French family, who we visited in Paris and Dijon and who visited us in the UK in return. A great experience, even if I did spend most of my time hiding under a beach umbrella as all I ever did was go pink and peel, then go pink again! Though I did enjoy the concept of the topless beach as I entered my teens 🙂.
