Annual subscriptions at €10 (covering administration fees), valid for the calendar year from January 1 to December 31, are issued:

  • to people with 1st and 2nd degree family connections (ascendants, descendants, brothers or sisters, grandparents and grandchildren) at Salin de Giraud and Sambuc and whose shortest way to visit them is via the Bac de Barcarin;
  • to persons having their place of work in the territory defined in Article III for the duration of their contract or for the calendar year (contract longer than one year), whose shortest way to get from their main or temporary residence to their place of work is via the Barcarin ferry;
  • to people who can prove they have a first-degree relative (ascendants, descendants, brothers, sisters) buried in Salin de Giraud.

Issued to people frequently exercising an economic activity in the Salin de Giraud area

The subscription title is an adhesive sticker dated the year with a non-reproducible watermark which must be displayed on the windshield. It is transmitted when renewing the subscription. Any falsification results in the cancellation of the subscription but also the application of the sanctions provided for in article 161 of the Penal Code. Only the presentation of the current year’s badge certifies the validity of the subscription.

You must provide:

  • a photocopy of the car registration document
  • proof of address
  • family or professional proof(s) in the case of a €10 subscription
  • a stamped envelope to your home address to send the stickers to affix to your windshield
  • the numbers on the back of the sticker in the case of renewal
