A football match between Nice and Nantes had to be abandoned due to torrential rain

Violent storms and flooding have hit southeast France, killing at least 13 people, knocking out power and disrupting travel, officials said.

Three elderly people drowned when their retirement home near the city of Antibes was inundated with floodwater.

Another five people are reported to have died as they tried to park their cars under shelter and became trapped.

French President Francois Hollande has thanked rescuers and expressed the “solidarity of the nation”.

Heavy rain hit the French Riviera, which lies on the Mediterranean coast and borders Italy, on Saturday evening.

Looting warning

The city of Nice is estimated to have received 10% of its average yearly rainfall in two days alone.

The river Brague burst its banks, sending water coursing into nearby towns and cities. Social media pictures showed water gushing down the streets of Cannes.

“Some cars were carried off into the sea,” said mayor Davis Lisnard.

“We have rescued a lot of people, and we must now be vigilant against looting.”

The main motorway through the area has been closed, trains halted and hundreds of tourists sought shelter at Nice airport overnight. Over 35,000 homes are without power.
