You are 100% incorrect, no one is greasing anyone's palms. That is ridiculous but you will believe anything I guess.

The French government could care less about the textile tourists on Tintamarre.

20-30 years ago there was no Orient Village, there was Club O & a sprinkle of beach cafés. Today there are French families that live & work & they aren't happy, maybe they should move back to mainland France so you can have your beach back?

What about the companies that offer both nude cruises & or textile cruises to Tintamarre. I wonder if they would agree with what you claim & think palms are buying greased. I know a few companies & we are all friends. Interesting.

C'est la Vie.
