After 1.5 years, 5 appointments, 10 visits to the Orange store in Antibes and at least 20 hours on hold at the Orange help desk, we succeeded (with big thanks to our dear neighbors) and now offer super fast internet from February 2020 via a broadband (fiber) connection. The problem was particularly that a cable had to be pulled from the tennis court to our house, and there was (of course) a blockage in it. Although this was known, one after the other technician came with a cable that was much too short (more than 100 meters of cable had to be laid).

There are extreme conditions throughout the South of France and different roads and the route du soleil are fixed or closed. At Montpellier it is even so bad that road users could no longer continue their journey and they had to be accommodated in hotels and sports halls. A lot of snow fell not only in Valbonne, but also on the beach at Nice and Cannes. The weather forecast for the South of France is very promising, in the weekend temperatures of above 10 degrees can be reached again.
