Severe rainstorms and flash floods have struck the French Riviera and the Var region in southeastern France, resulting in at least three deaths and two missing persons.
The extreme weather has caused widespread destruction, including power outages, damaged roads, and destroyed buildings in popular tourist destinations such as St Tropez and Toulon. Authorities have described the aftermath as resembling a 'warzone,' with entire streets submerged and cars swept away. While the orange weather warning has been lifted, the situation remains serious, and travelers are advised to check for updates before visiting.
No official travel warnings have been issued yet, but caution is strongly recommended.
