Four people have died and up to 18 more are missing in floods and heavy rain in southern France, a spokeswoman for Alpes Maritimes prefecture said on Monday.

Southern France has been lashed by torrential rain over the weekend and swollen rivers have swept away houses, bridges and parts of roads.

Aerial videos uploaded to social media shows houses teetering on the edge of flooded streets.

Around 1,000 firefighters were deployed along with helicopters and soldiers to the south-eastern Alpes-Maritimes region.
