Floods of October 19-20, 2026 in Southeastern France

On the night of October 20, 2026, Michaël Amsallem disappeared in Roquebrune-sur-Argens, in the Var department, during the severe weather; the gendarmerie launched a call for witnesses on October 23. On October 29, 184 municipalities in southeastern France were recognized as being in a state of natural disaster after the floods of October 19, including 32 in Gard and 62 around Salon-de-Provence, followed by 33 municipalities in Gard and 26 in Vaucluse. SNCF maintained rail restrictions in Bouches-du-Rhône after the severe weather of October 20. In early November, residents near Toulon and in Martigues testified to the consequences of the floods, while inhabitants mobilized to clean up the Grand Vallat in Sausset-les-Pins, and the question of watercourse maintenance returned to the debate in Sainte-Maxime.
