The toll grew heavier the day after the collapse of a building in Sanary-sur-mer (Var).
A second victim, an 82-year-old woman, was found in the rubble, firefighters announced on Wednesday.
A real race against time remained on Tuesday afternoon to find an elderly lady and her son, who lived respectively on the ground floor and on the first floor of this small building located on the port of the Mediterranean seaside resort.
