TRANSISTOR APPARATUS

Radios, record players,recorders and other "noise making" apparatus of the technological age may be used but must be toned down. The tone should not permit the hearing of such instruments outside the bungalow walls. People of the teddy-boy type who feel they have to carry such things around with them (like Mary's little lamb) everywhere they go (with Radio Caroline blaring) have got another thing coming. They are in for a rather hard kick in the bottom and their transistor in the ocean waves. People want peace and quiet on the ile.

POCKET LAMP

Every one should bring his own pocket lamp with him. You can find your way back to your quarters with a pocket lamp but if you haven't got one it's too "pitch black" during the advanced hours.

SEA URCHIN

Oursins, a very popular delicacy which costs more in Paris than oysters but is not so tasty by a long chalk in the Paris restaurants as on the Ile. Cut uo, cleaned and prepared, ou may then eat the star-shaped spawn eggs. Add some lemon juice and white bread - delikatessen par excellence ! Woe to him. However, who treads barefoot on a sea urchin. Even the islanders need a long time to pluck out the spines (as hard as glass) with a sewing needle.

SUNBURN

Do not try and "brown" at any cost. Those parts of the body normally concealed are the first to protest and redden when exposed (not from shame but from annoyance).

SOLARIUM

A place for sunbathing. The "Sentier du Soleil" or the "Corniche Naturiste" extends from the harbour aera across the "Pierres Plates" and the "Calanque des Moines" to the "Galère" above the rocks. The "Solarium" lie below this path and consist of smooth rock-flagstones with a covering of cement. These provide excellent sunbathing opportunities. the numbers on the "solariums" do not mean that they can be reserved : they serve orientation purposes only.

ROSE AND ROSEE

Do not confuse these two concepts. Rosé is the popular light wine and Rosée is the fresh dew on the morning grass - a kind of "substitute rain".

RAIN

Continuous rainfall is unkown on the island and the clever tourist does not insure against it here. There are only about 18 to 25 rainy days per year on the ile.
