A team from France Télévisions decided to go south to sunbathe, but the bill turned out to be more and more expensive.

First stop and first expense: fuel. For diesel vehicles, good news, the bill will be one euro cheaper than last year to go from Paris to Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhone). A car running on gasoline will have a more salty note of 10 euros, it, compared to last year. The car is not the only one affected by these increases. This year, prices have also increased by 5% for the train and 23.8% for the plane. With peaks for school holidays, according to an expert, companies would make more margins.

Overpriced accommodation

“Even if the prices are higher, the planes remain full, so they take advantage of this on the one hand to compensate for the slower periods when they lose money and on the other hand to repay the large loans they have. subscribed”, explains an expert. Accommodation has also increased. A campsite manager in Cassis saw his energy bill explode. “130 euros per night, you have 40 euros of energy whereas before you had ten euros”, he explains. While some do not charge for this increase, others have been forced to increase their prices.
