A man walks past damaged cars, in Mandelieu-la-Napoule, southern France, on October 5, after floods tore through the French Riviera leaving 18 dead. Mediterranean resort towns beloved by jet-setting tourists such as Cannes, Nice and Antibes were devastated by a torrential weekend downpour that trapped residents in cars, parking garages and retirement homes.
