在法國旅行業者推出涵蓋不想陽光被打斷的保險後，那些想享受陽光、但假日卻被壞天氣搞砸的遊客可以獲得補償了。
The insurance policy, launched by holiday groups Pierre et Vacances and FranceLoc, will allow holiday-makers to claim back part of the cost of their trip if they suffer at least four days of rain in any one week.
由皮埃爾假期旅遊公司和FranceLoc度假集團推出的這種保險單，允許遊客若在任何一週內至少4天遇到下雨，將可要求退還部分旅費。
"Aon France allows Pierre & Vacances to propose its clients with automatic reimbursement for part of their stay...if weather conditions don’t meet expectations," the holiday group said in a statement.
「如果天氣狀況不符合預期，怡安保險法國分公司允許皮埃爾公司自動向客戶退還部分旅費」，該度假集團在聲明中說。
Aon France will use satellite photos obtained by the French weather bureau to calculate how much money subcribers should receive.
怡安保險法國分公司將利用從法國氣象局獲取的衛星圖片，計算客戶可領回多少錢。
Rain-spoilt holidays can now be worth up to 400 euros and holiday-makers would be informed by telephone text message or email if they are liable for compensation. They would receive a cheque a few days after returning home.
度假遇雨的退款數額最高可達400歐元，如果遊客有權申請賠償，他們將會接到電話簡訊或電子郵件通知。他們回家幾天後就會收到支票。
