Body recovered in Ardèche on Wednesday is indeed that of a man who went missing in Saint-Martin-de-Valamas during the severe weather of the weekend. The manager of a small hydroelectric plant had been missing since Saturday evening.
His body was recovered on Wednesday by emergency services in Eyrieux. His identification brings the death toll from violent weather over the weekend to seven deaths in the south-east of France. In Spain, three people were also swept away by sea waves linked to Storm Monica.
