Breil Sur Roya France

Breil Sur Roya France is a delighfull village just north of Monte Carlo. My two friends & I were the guests of Riny Doyle in his apartment overlooking the lagoon in July 2010. Riny is an excellent chef, in the photo above we are eating wild boar pasta. His secret is to freeze the wild boar meat for 6 months before cooking. 🙂

Rinny is a very generous host.

How about this for a spread?

View from our apartmant

How lucky were we being able to stay in a great 3br apartment with a view like this?

Just across the road from the Roya river

Enjoying a beer with Riny

This was a bar at the local railway station. There are two lines that pass through the village, one is French the other Italian, which make it very easy to vist places in both countries.

Location

So many wonderful towns & villages in the area. Just check out THIS LINK.

A few miles south of Breil

In october 2020 the river flooded after severe storms & devastated the whole area.

Absolutely heartbreaking.

Breil Sur Roya devastated

Breil Sur Roya devastated by storm Alex on October 4 2020, it destroyed dozens of houses and washed away roads in the mountainous border region north of Nice.

Riny Doyle

Ten years ago I spent 2 weeks in this beautiful French village as a guest of Riny Doyle & his partner Suzanne. We are dining on one of Riny’s specialties, wild boar pasta. I remember Riny saying the boar had to be frozen for 6 months before cooking. 🙂

Main street in Breil

The force of the flood water must have been incredible.

Cars submerged in mud.

Three more bodies have been discovered on the French side of the border with Italy after severe mountain flooding ravaged parts of both countries, leaving at least 12 dead.

It will take months to clean up

Sadly the village may never fully recover, many residents will be afraid the flood waters may return in the future.

Perhaps there was no warning

That may be the reason there were so many vehicles in the middle of the village.

Barely hanging on to the edge of the cliff, how frightening is that?

Another one bites the dust

Totally heartbreaking for the residents of this beautiful village.

This home I’m sure will be demolished.

It’s difficult to see any other solution.

Breil Sur Roya devastated, such a sad sight

Another photo of the main street in the middle of Breil.

This is so hard to believe…

A simple reminder that we should never underestimate the awesome power of nature.

Compare the area above to 2010

From a tranquil setting to a scene of devastation.

A little roadwork needed here

How frightening would this have been for anyone driving on this busy road?

Flashback to 2010 with my friend Riny Doyle.

Also with me were two Australian friends, Jodie O’Neil & Deborah Holiday. Here is the message I got from Riny the day after the disaster; “no water no électricité no phone roads collapsed. A temp road-fix allowed me to go to next valley to let everyone know we are ok. Village is a disaster.”

Thanks for visiting my Breil Sur Roya devastated photo blog, my sympathy to all the residents who have suffered in this horrific event.
