The number of new cases of corona has increased in France, with more than 7,000 people being diagnosed with the virus in a single day. The number of Corona victims has risen, especially in Cape Dage, south of Herald. It is the center of nature resorts in Europe. Pleasure and serenity are the focus here. Now, however, health officials have launched a mobile testing operation outside the village, where corona has been found to be positive in 30 per cent of the nearly 800 naturalists.
Called the 'Village of Naturalists', the place has a very limited population and there are over a dozen swinger clubs, steam baths and clubs where couples can hide and get out of sight. Of course, not all nature lovers are swingers and some of them like to go camping in a quiet place on the other side of the village.
But there are limitations to Cape Dage. "Everyone stays in close contact with each other all day and off course naked," a swinger told. "We all know why we're here. There are also nature lovers who come here with their families who live near the beach and do not go to sex clubs.
On a typical summer day, 45,000 people come here every day. Most are rented here for a week. There are also weekend and one-day visitors. But it all happened before the Corona epidemic.
Two employees of a luxury hotel here were diagnosed with the corona virus in August. The hotel owner admitted that a "nonsense party" was held on the roof of the hotel where the principle of social distance was violated.
"We lost twice as much," said manager David Masella. Most of our tourists or guests are foreigners, mostly from the Netherlands and Germany, and also from Italy and the United Kingdom. "People who come here for regular vacations have not come this year because of the virus, and of course we have also been infected with the virus, which may not have been possible to avoid."
"Let me tell you, with a thousand camp sites and 15,000 beds, this village earns more than the nearby seven-time city of Montpellier," he said.
I found two couples who have been in this village almost all year round. Jeremy and Nagee are about 40 years old and they met at a swingers club after which they moved in together. According to him, this village has gone from a magical place to a place of tragedy. Of course we are all taking risks but the lockdown was very difficult and long.
