Just curious why you think the Copro needs some pressure applied? With the exception of the dissenters, they are very motivated to rebuild; they want to go back to our favorite beach just as much as you do! Unfortunately a small group of hold-outs seem hell-bent on spite for everyone else even though they have nothing to gain.

For the record; the local government has been very supportive. The Copro has permission for rebuilding as soon as the funds come through. Remember that they could have been told the property was just too unsafe to rebuilt on, but they haven't. What *has* been determined is that permanent year-round homes cannot be located on the property. So dissenters can't gain the private gated community they apparently were hoping they could force the Club into becoming.

Short of major legislative changes (which, face it, will not happen for all of France on the behalf of a very small group of largely foreign owners of a hotel in one of the smallest territories in the Republic) or the insurance company deciding that they're not going to continue to take advantage of the situation so they don't have to pay out the claim (I know: bwahahahahaha!) this is simply going to have to grind through the courts.

Fingers crossed that happens sooner rather than later!
