Regular readers of our blog may have noticed a link on the sidebar supporting Annecy's candidature for the 2018 Winter Olympics. Our loyalties are clear - Support Annecy's bid for 2018!In March the French Olympic Committee selected Annecy as the French candidate city for 2018 - though as the map shows much of the region is proposed for events including Morzine just next to Les Gets as well as Mègeve and La Clusaz.
Annecy, in the French Alps not far from the Swiss border, was named ahead of rival bids from Grenoble, Nice and Pelvoux-les-Ecrins.
The host city for the 2018 Winter Olympics will be announced in July 2011 in Durban, but Annecy faces competition from other candidates like Munich, Germany and Pyeongchang, Korea.
And if have been really a really keen visitor to our blog you will have seen the "Live Traffic Feed" widget on the sidebar showing the location of visitors to our site. We have become used to visitors from around the world - but have seen our first from Korea. Sorry - Annecy wins over Pyeongchang!
