The end of the holidays leaves French seaside resort looking derelict

In summer the south of France can be very busy. Traffic queues, one way streets and the laid back atmosphere can often gridlock small seaside towns. But in winter, all the tourists have gone, the summer homes are boarded up leaving coastal ghost towns. Gruissan is one of those places.
