Holidaymakers offered money-back guarantee if the sun doesn’t shine

Imagine going on holiday where you are guaranteed sunshine….and if the sun doesn’t shine you get your money back.
That is what leading holiday companies in France are offering. They are giving money-back guarantees if the sun doesn’t shine during their customer’s holiday break.

Holidaymakers able to prove it rained for at least four days while they were away will receive a ‘significant refund’. One of the companies, Aon France says “we will use sate lite photos taken by France’s national weather centre to calculate how much money clients will receive.

With the current wet weather we are having in the UK, maybe it’s time to go on holiday to France on a sunshine guaranteed holiday.

Well, I’m off to the beach this coming week with family and friends. We are going to have one ‘splashing’ time at Great Yarmouth.
