Winds and high waves in northwest test

SEVEN departments on the north-west coast of France are the latest to be place on an orange weather alert by Météo France, with the forecaster warning of strong winds, high waves and the risk of coastal flooding.

The sea warning applies to the Manche, Ille-et-Vilaine, Côtes-d'Armor, Finistère, Morbihan and Loire-Atlantique and applies until 6.00 on Monday morning.

This is where the quote text goes.

There will also be strong winds inland in the Finistère, Côtes-d'Armor, Ille-et-Vilaine, Manche and Calvados - with gusts up to 120kph.

It will be windy across most of northern France on Monday with gusts up to 100kph inland.

An earlier weather warning for the Rhône and Loire departments has since been lifted.
