An
absolutely
ruined
afternoon.
We
only
came
here
because
it's
close
to
work,
and
we
wanted
to
relax
for
a
couple
of
hours
before
going
home.
First,
the
website
didn't
say
anything
about
there
being
no
parking
close
to
the
entrance.
We
spent
30
minutes
driving
to
the
beach
(Google
Maps
indicated
that
there
was
a
parking
lot
right
in
front
of
the
entrance
-
wrong!),
then
driving
to
the
assigned
parking
lot
all
the
way
at
La
Ronde,
waiting
for
a
shuttle
to
the
beach,
and
then
rolling
back
in
an
unhurrying
bus.
The
water
was
muddy,
with
the
mushy
sand
floor
and
lots
of
algae,
to
the
point
where
they
were
a
hindrance
to
swimmers.
The
sand
strip
was
narrow
and
wet
despite
a
scorching
hot
day.
Not
fun.
Paid
$6
for
a
75
gr
ice
cream
bar.
That's
in
addition
to
almost
$10
entrance
tickets
per
person.
The
overall
feeling
was
of
not
really
neglect,
but
definitely
poor
management.
Going
back
to
the
parking
lot
was
a
special
treat.
First,
we
had
to
wait
for
40
minutes
for
the
shuttle,
and
then
it
turned
out
that
it
was
going
to
the
metro
station
only.
We
all
had
to
get
off
the
shuttle
there
and
wait
for
another
bus
going
to
La
Ronde.
How
ridiculous
is
that?
It's
been
exactly
one
hour
since
the
beach
was
closed,
and
I
am
writing
this
while
still
on
a
bus,
going
to
the
parking
lot
when
normally
it
would
take
us
less
than
10
minutes
of
driving
to
get
from
the
beach
to
La
Ronde.
Not
to
forget
that
parking
is
$8.75
per
hour.
Like,
how
difficult
is
it
to
put
up
an
advisory
that
there
is
no
parking?
We
literally
lost
an
hour
and
half
on
a
weekday
evening
when
time
is
limited
to
begin
with,
and
overpaid
the
total
of
almost
$20
for
a
couple
of
dips
in
muddy
slops.
Never
again.
