hi Mags
Yes, French resort.
Thanks for your concern. My family had to evacuate while the fires were being dealt with. about 10km north of where they live in the Adelaide Hills. They have now returned safe and sound and their house is still intact. Others were not so fortunate. Such devastation all around them
