Violent storms killed at least 16 people and left another three missing along the Cote d’Azur, one of France’s most popular tourist destinations, according to the latest update from President Francois Hollande’s office.
Most rail traffic remains halted in the Alpes-Maritimes department of southeast France, with trains running only between the cities of Marseille and Toulon, and Nice and Ventimiglia in Italy, according to a spokeswoman for the local government, who asked not to be identified in line with the authority’s policy. The A8 highway has re-opened after Saturday night’s downpour and Nice airport has resumed flights, she said.
