NOT MANY FRENCH football fans will be hoping for a German run to the final of Euro 2016 . The current World Champions are a formidable force in major tournaments and held their nerve to defeat Argentina in the 2014 final in Brazil .

EURO 2016
NOT MANY FRENCH football fans will be hoping for a German run to the final of Euro 2016 . The current World Champions are a formidable force in major tournaments and held their nerve to defeat Argentina in the 2014 final in Brazil . Few would bet against them if they made it through again this year .
However , one Frenchman who will be encouraging Germany ’ s progress through the tournament is Yannick Le Hec , General Manager of the Evian Resort , set in the stunning surrounds of Lake Geneva . His reason ? The German team are staying at his hotel .
“ If they make it through to the final they will be with us for over a month from the middle of June to the middle of July ,” says Le Hec . “ If the final is going to be between France and Germany I of course wish for France to win . In sport you never know what ’ s going to happen . Any team can win , although we know how good Germany is , and I ’ d love to see a Germany versus France final .” The likes of Manuel Neuer , Mario Götze and Thomas Müller will be occupying the entire Hotel Ermitage , one of two hotels in the Evian Resort . “ Having the football world champions staying with us will provide some fantastic exposure for the resort around Europe ,” Le Hec adds . “ For management this is a great project because it gives us the opportunity to plan something special and different , this is not our usual client and we will do our absolute best to deliver for them .”
