Update on access to Bay Rouge beach.
Pictures taken today: security is stationed at a closed gate.
However, After speaking to the security, very helpful gentleman, they explained that access is not denied, there is access on the side of the gate for pedestrians. Vehicles will not be allowed to park inside anymore as it’s private property.
Beach visitors will have to park their cars on the side of the road. 😒
When questioned if the french police will allow parked vehicles on the roadsides, they shrugged 🤷‍♂️
Not sure if the Collectivite and French side Tourist office can mediate this situation, but it’s not safe ( traffic and crime) situation to have cars parked on the roadsides in lowlands and having to walk to the beach.
