Friendly visitor needed for an 81-year-old neighbor in Grenoble

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Jacques is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Jacques, who's 81. Jacques lives alone in Grenoble, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Jacques loves cricket, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
