Companionship wanted: Hugo's gardening and a cup of tea

Looking for a friendly person in Marseille to visit Hugo once a week.

Marseille
I'm writing for my neighbor Hugo, who's 75. Hugo lives alone in Marseille, and lost a son last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Hugo loves gardening, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday afternoon, would mean the world. We can also arrange a phone call if you can't visit in person. All visitors will be introduced by me and I'll be there at the first meeting. I'll share references and, if you'd like, a short orientation from the local befriending charity. No special skills are needed - just kindness and patience. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
