Hey R&J,
We've been on the French Side for 5 weeks now ..granted at Mont Vernon ... north-eastern end of Orient ...lot's of wind this year ..and we're on the outer edge of the establishment, upper balcony ..... we're in the wind here!

But .. haven't seen any ... leave out balcony open (hurricane shutter down to the railing every night) ..NO bites (and may I say that we KNOW mosquitoes!, having a summer home in Muskoka Lakes area, north of Toronto, Ontario ...(in the words of one of our best rock bands ever, Bachman Turner Overdrive ..... "Ya ain't seen nothin yet! " We have those critters to Excess!"

REPEAT ..haven't seen one!!! .. But after dark some of the restaurants outta the wind may have those critters!

BUT ..and I repeat BUT ..our friend went swimming at ex-Papagalo's rocks and got badly bitten by SAND-FLEAS ...according to a local doctor ..."sand fleas are a crustacean.." UGLY bites ....got Antibiotique Cream at local Pharmacy.

Travel Safe
RR
