We will be based in the town of Montauroux in the south of France, renowned since roman days for it's mild climate. January is mimosa month (we'll miss that) and then spring starts the flowers that have made the area famous for it's perfume industry. We will be rowing on the Lac de St Cassien, a dammed body of water with no current, surrounded by mountains. The lake has no motorized boats on it, (other than the rowing center's launches, by special permit!) and has welcomed international elite teams from all over Europe. |
