Flash floods caused by torrential rain in the south of France have left at least four people dead and two missing, including a young girl.

Fields were turned into lakes, streets into rivers as the latest in a series of autumn storms caused havoc. The bad weather is linked to unusually high Mediterranean temperatures.

The bodies of three women and a man were found in different locations along the Mediterranean coast between Toulon and St Tropez.

The town of La Londe des Maures was among the worst hit, with firemen sent to rescue people from their homes.
