A Place in the Sun - want to house-swap and watch the Olympics in Marseilles?

The pool looks very inviting!Quai du Canal, Marseilles.

Back from Miami, French Star sailor Xavier Rohart sent me this photo of the weather in Marseilles last weekend - though he assures me it's very different in the summer! Xav asked me to find out if anyone would like to house-swap with friends of his who want to come to Weymouth for the Olympics. This is a marvellous opportunity to get away from it all and holiday in the south of France while all the fuss is happening here: closed roads, security checks, the bay full of sightseers, Ben Ainslie's gran occupying your favourite chair in the clubroom - or a long cool drink at the poolside in the sunshine?

If this is of interest to members, please get in touch with me.
