This winter it seems that every plague and pestilence has been thrown at France. Today they are worried about high tides in low lying Vendee on the western coast of France.The big storm of Feb 28 has weakened the area's levees and storm protection barriers, and helicopters will be used to monitor the high tides. A spokesman said they are expecting a relatively large swell of three to four meters, and this combined with winds up to 110 km/h.The weather should improve this afternoon in the Charente and Brittany across to the central region and the Upper Normandy. Meanwhile, a violent winds early in the day are anticipated on the Aquitaine coast, with wind gusts of 100 to 120 km/h, and locally up to 130 km/h.
