A beach holiday

We headed back to Le Grau du Roi to cycle yesterday.  It was 10 or 15 degrees warmer than on our visit a week ago.  And it was a national holiday.  It seemed like virtually everyone decided to spend their holiday at the beach.  As we were cycling, we could see long lines of cars waiting their turn at traffic circles leading to the beach.

Le Grau du Roi is where the Canal St. Louis meets the Mediterranean Sea.

A week ago, a chilly wind was blowing sand across empty beaches.  What a difference a week makes!
