Overview

• Authorities lifted most orange alerts overnight in the south‑east and through Monday morning in Brittany, with residual flood and river cautions maintained locally.
• A 55‑year‑old woman died in Ploumagoar near Guingamp after driving onto an inundated road, as Côtes‑d’Armor firefighters fielded about 1,500 calls and carried out more than 400 interventions with targeted evacuations in Paimpol.
• Météo‑France reported exceptional totals including 148.5 mm in 24 hours at Le Castellet (a record), up to about 127–133 mm at Avignon, roughly 92–113 mm in Toulon in about an hour, and around 109 mm in Marseille.
• Transport and infrastructure were hit: flights were diverted at Marseille‑Provence, TER services were disrupted around Avignon, Toulon’s tunnel and station were closed, and access to a Toulon hospital was curtailed, while power cuts peaked near 50,000 customers in the Var before declining to about 15,000 late evening.
• Hundreds of emergency interventions were recorded across the south‑east (about 250 in Bouches‑du‑Rhône, 259 in Vaucluse, 165 in Var), and major fixtures were postponed, with OM‑PSG rescheduled to Monday 20:00 and Toulon–La Rochelle deferred.
