A 70-year-old German national has gone missing and 1,600 people, most of them campers, have been forced to evacuate after flash floods swept through southern France, local authorities said.
Heavy rains have poured down on the French department of Gard, about 150 km (90 miles) northwest of the city of Marseilles, bursting riverbanks and forcing the evacuation of children from the vacation camp of Saint-Julien-de-Peyrolas.
