Lamalou les Bains, death on the campsite | M6 | 66 minutes

It was a flood, such as Lamalou les Bains had not seen for decades: two months of rainfall in just five hours. Built close to the Bitoulet, the local river, the campsite couldn’t stand the pressure. It was devastated, and worse still, five dead were carried away by the waters and the debris! Lamalou is in shock! Its residents had never seen the like. With the emergency services still at work, questions are already being asked: poorly sited buildings, inadequate maintenance of the riverbanks, etc. How could the Bitoulet have turned into such a murderous torrent? A report from the campsite of death.
