Our choice for 15 years. A very suitable environment for families with children. Shallow sea, fine sand, human profile, market, eating and drinking places, children's playground, shower, toilet, a permanent gendarmerie team, municipal inspection. If you have the opportunity, choose to go on a weekday. The weekend gets chaotic.
