As the London Olympics began brilliantly yesterday, it is more than time to provide you – chauvinistic Gallic supporter - with a list of French athletes to follow at the London Olympics. Unfortunately, there are no guarantees, and unsatisfied readers won’t get their money back. But this should give you an idea of where to hear La Marseillaise over the next two weeks, as these Games look very promising for the team in Bleu-blanc-rouge.
