At least three people were killed on Monday due to the heavy rains and storms that assaulted southern France.
The elderly couple were found in Le Lavandou, a beach resort village, and others died after being trapped in the car of Vidauban.
Rain caused extensive damage throughout the region and flooded the distance, causing power and water interruption. After the railroad track was damaged, at least two local trains stopped traveling overnight.
Toulon’s prosecution said that the dead couple tried to leave the house, but “I was surprised as the level increased rapidly.”
The investigation into their death began.
Officials of Le Lavandou said, “We are shocked by the size of the natural disasters that struck the cavalière district this morning, and they were flooded by 256 mm of rain in just an hour.
The city, which is about 30 km (18 miles) east of St tropez, is a holiday along French Riviera.
“It was a violent, unpleasant and incomprehensible phenomenon,” said Gil Bernardi.
Le Lavandou was still undergoing electricity and water power outages on Tuesday, and the access was limited because the main roads of the village remained flood.
Meanwhile, the northern officials of Vidauban said that one person died and fell into a ditch after driving on a flooded road.
The passenger tried to save both the driver and the passenger, but only the driver could rescue the driver, according to Vidauban’s market Claude Pianetti.
The authorities said more than 500 calls were made in the emergency services of the VAR region last day. Hundreds of emergency rescue targets, including nearby cities such as Khan, have been placed in this area.
VAR was warned on Tuesday morning and floods, but later graded at the lowest level.
The local authorities said more than 600 homes remain without electricity.
On Monday night, heavy rains and hail struck southwestern France. The Bordeaux-Turl Laus railway route has been influenced by some trains on the next few days.
