22nd June 2009 - Balaruc les Bains

The aire we stayed at was in the car parking area of the spa. We witnessed some of the selfish behaviour that seems inherent at popular aires. Camping, careless parking and reserving places with the use of camping gear. I think we are so careful about following the rules that it seems a little unfair when others don't. However this is a nice place full of people taking the water which looking across the bay to a fairly heavily industrial area amazed me that it has beneficial properties - minerals of some sort I don't doubt! There was clearly some long stayers here so it must be regarded as doing some good. The spa itself did appear very relaxing - from the outside! I'll just get in the sea tomorrow.
