You Very. Nearly 600 people were trapped in southeastern France on Monday after the only access road to a holiday resort was damaged by flooding.
“Today the sun is shining, there is water, electricity, no one is panicking,” declared Liliane Boyer, mayor of the municipality of Le Muy, halfway between Marseille and Nice.
“All authorities are working so that tourists who were supposed to leave today or this week can do so,” he added.
France is in the midst of school holidays, lasting two weeks, in which many families go on vacation to other parts of the country.
Over the weekend, 584 people were staying at the Canebières holiday resort, in the municipality of Le Muy, when heavy rain and flooding hit southeastern France.
Three people were evacuated by helicopter for health reasons late on Sunday and transferred to hospitals in the region, according to the prefecture of the Var department.
Other people who need to leave will have to ask to be taken out of town in off-road vehicles along forest tracks before continuing their journey by train or plane, Canebières reported on its website.
However, they will have to return later to collect their stranded cars, he added.
