Another forum member who also lives in Provence, told me that Esprit had reopened. My problem is that I am in the UK and my M3W is shut away in secure storage at Cogolin. I will wait until I reopen my house in Tourtour in April. I am also going to have the rear sprocket replaced with a lightweight steel one but sadly the sprocket was badly damaged by the courier in transit to me last week. That was the last of the batch, so there will be a delay until a replacement is made.
