For anyone interested, here’s a stream (embedded under the cut, because it autoplays) — it’s crappy, but it’s all I’ve got so far. If anyone has something better, please drop it in the comments.

The quick and dirty:
•The ground will be located at la plaine du Var in Saint-Isidore, west of Nice, a region [...]
