Sports holidays for a family from the Paris region. The teenagers understood it well, the month of May will be generous this year. “A lot of public holidays, so a lot of rest, less school”, summarizes a teenager. There is almost one bridge per week in May. This bodes well for the campsite manager, whose 500 mobile homes were already almost all occupied on the weekend of April 29 and 30.
10% of Var income
The trend will continue in the coming days. “For the Ascension Bridge, we are full in mobile homes. The season starts at that point, since we will be full until the end of September”, rejoices Pascal Giraudet, director of the Saint-Aygulf Plage campsite (Var). On the beach of Fréjus, a family from Savoy is building its last sand castles, before hitting the road again at the start of the afternoon. Tourism generates more than 10% of the Var department’s income.
