Despite the fuel crisis, many French people went on vacation on this long All Saints weekend. A generally sunny weekend, with an almost summery atmosphere that favors tourism.
On this extended All Saints weekend, Bordeaux (Gironde) looks like summer. On the edges of the water mirror, children are still enjoying the mild temperatures. The terraces are full, and the hotels too, which is unusual for the season. On the morning of Tuesday, November 1, on the Landes coast, people are walking on Lake Hossegor. The bravest swim.
At the gates of the Camargue, in Provence, Arles (Bouches-du-Rhône) is also full. The arenas and the ancient theater are taken over by tourists. The aliens are back. They currently represent 40% of the tourist clientele. And in the city that is called “little Rome”, there are of course Italians. 23°C are expected in the afternoon of Tuesday 2, in Arles. These All Saints holidays are like no other: the October, which has just ended, was the hottest ever in France.
