I can't make out from the very minimal coverage on the BBC website exactly where the floods are. Don't know why they don't have a map illustrating the area affected.

My parents are there and I want to get a feel for whether they're affected before I call them.

Thanks.

The news coverage focused on Cote D'Azur - reporting from Frejus.

Anything more specific than that?

Draguignan, as well, is flooded.

I think it is mostly the area around Draguignan. We were very close to there last Summer - I can't believe it's the same place looking at the news reports. Terrifying.

From the Irish Times:
While Draguignan bore the brunt of the damage, bodies were also found in Luc, Roquebrune, Fréjus, Trans, La Motte and Saint-Aygulf. The floods also hit the holiday resort of St Tropez.

Thank you. Doesn't sound like they are affected as they're up in the hills but the surrounding areas are all badly hit.

Just got back from Roquebrune-Sur-Argens where our campsite was completely flooded. Everything is back to normal now but a lot of people have really suffered.

We lost everything in our mobile home and spent the last few days of our holiday camped out in a hotel without electricity waiting for the roads to open. A child died on our campsite however so feeling very lucky to have got out
