Grelons is a word you learn pretty quickly , a few years ago living close to St Tropez we had a storm and put all the glass through in the greenhouses in Grasse growing roses for the perfume industry ,..A national emergency declared and the Army drafted in to clean the mess
It is a regular occurrence in that part of France
My lasting memory was a picture in the daily Var newspaper of a glum looking couple whose plastic patio table looked like the local shotgun club had used for practice
Same with floods happens so quick, Don't ever be fooled into believing you have time to make a call ...all happens very quickly
