Deconfinement: a Sunday at the "dynamic" beach in Languedoc

2020-05-18T08:44:21.082Z


Between Carnon-plage and Leucate, for this first weekend of freedom since the deconfinement, the inhabitants had a taste of what


Between Carnon-plage (Hérault) and Leucate (Aude) it was cloudless blue sky for all this Sunday. Up to 27 ° temperature for sea water at 18 °, a test for beaches in "dynamic" mode. In Carnon-Ouest, we were in the morning in this ideal and sporting frequentation which kites, which swims, which runs but does not lengthen (too much). Just here and there, a few coolers and busy towels.

“Since Saturday, there has been a strong demand for seawater activities, which can seem like an addiction. In ten minutes my internet reservation book was full and I had to refuse people on site. This return to sea water is felt with great enthusiasm ”, rejoices Thierry Roudil, founder of the association Décadoc which has doubled its sessions to respect the rule of“ No more than ten to do sport together ” and respond to pressure.

Bikers, convertibles and first caps

“This first session was a great pleasure for me. I've missed it all so much these past few weeks, missed it so much, both physically and mentally, ”says Lala Karabatic, retired and athletic, who chained a session of one hour of intense activity in the water and a long walk on the sand to prolong the moment in the middle of paddles and swimmers, while offshore the sailboats are out.

On the roads we finally come across again, the Sunday bikers, the convertibles and the first beach traffic jams, as if to access the Prévost car park which gives access to the wild beach, pebbles and wild grasses, of Villeneuve-lès-Maguelone (Hérault). In Palavas-les-Flots, all open beaches, attendance is more… static. “There are still a lot of people lying on the sand. When the gendarmes arrive, it will be expensive, ”observes Audrey, seated on a public bench overlooking the vastness of sand opposite the town hall.

"The feeling of suddenly reliving"

"Well, people do not respect the rule during this first weekend but we inform them and they are not aggressive," says Constance of the tourist office that crisscrosses the beach to distribute educational flyers. "It does a terrible good. You have the feeling of suddenly reliving. And for us, it's not a beach day like the others, ”exclaims Murielle, the temporary arrival from Alès (Gard) with Fabrice her husband and Lola her daughter.

The family walks with water to the top of their calves. They progress with the surgical mask on their faces "because the ideal distance is not always respected on the beach", specifies Murielle who synthesizes pleasures of the sea and health security. The fun in musical nap mode of Fabienne, an employee of schools in Saussan, is cut short by a safety assistant who comes to remind that on a dynamic beach, one does not laze on the towel.

" That does not make sense. I come to the beach for the sea and the sun and there is nothing better than lying on the sand to strengthen your immune defenses, ”replies Gabrielle, annoyed at having to fold up her pareo. Warning without verbalization. For this first weekend in the bright sun, the dynamic beach is educational. The post-containment summer is just beginning.
