île du levant - domaine naturiste d'héliopolis, cité du soleil

MINIMUM

A piece of cloth the size of a man's hand which is inevitable in all the village streets, at the market place, at the harbour, when shopping, and in the post office. In order to keep the "Slip Minimum" dry it is better take it off when on the beach. It is a curiosity but is obligatory. It should be kept "at the ready" when on the "Corniche de Soleil" and on the way to the Grottoes. It need not be worn but can be best kept in your beach bag. The shops on the island sell the "minimum" in alla variations for males and females, young and old.

MISTRAL

A strong, dry wind from the north west (usually under a cloudless sky). It can blow for three, six or nine days and makes people slightly excitable. The local people have it that men beat their wives when Mistral blows...

LAURENT COLOMBERO

A transport operator who carries tourists and all their belongings from the harbour to every desired adress. When his taxi, loaded to the brim,  wobbles shalily along the island path, it would make a normal British constable rub his eyes and pinch himself to see if he were awake - the gendarme on the isle of Levant jumps on the bonnet and has a free ride.
