A joyful mess that does good

Sébastien Anex

Every summer, thousands of campers occupy Piémanson, the last free beach on the French coast. Europe's largest wild camping site, tolerated but not legal, is scheduled to close in 2016. But until then, carpe diem. Here, smiles, sharing, relaxation, and happiness per square meter. A real vacation that some families might no longer be able to afford if the beach were to close.
