Storm surges, strong winds and heavy rains have swept France since Monday as Storm Dirk moves eastward across the country. Winds of up to 144 km/h were recorded at the Pointe du Raz (Finistère). Some 19 districts were placed in amber alert by Météo France. In the video here, waves crash over a lighthouse in Ile de Sein on Christmas Eve. Credit: Didier-Marie Le Bihan
