Météo France announced it on October 24, 2024, but the nightmare really began three days later, on October 27. On this date, torrential rains fell in certain areas of France and in particular the Var, placed on orange alert by Météo France since October 24, giving Brigitte Bardot a nightmarish night.
Indeed, aged 90, the idol of the 1950s and 1970s has lived near Saint-Tropez for many years. And as our colleagues point out, the charming little fishing port popular with the stars was unfortunately not able to escape the violent storms.
A night of horror experienced by Brigitte Bardot
On October 27, torrential rains fell on the famous town located in the Var. “sowing panic and desolation”and thus hitting full force Brigitte Bardot recluse in her refuge at La Madrague to wait for the storm to pass.
Nevertheless, his “little corner of paradise” in which she has resided since 1958 has unfortunately not been spared reveals France Sunday. “The actress who only moves with English canes has witnessed, helplessly, the most threatening and distressing spectacle!”
According to our colleagues, Brigitte Bardot's lush and flowery garden was submerged under several tens of centimeters of water, “transforming into a real pond”unsurprisingly causing enormous anxiety on the part of the 90-year-old artist.
“BB” worried about her animals
Because in addition to worrying about her own safety, Roger Vadim's ex-partner was very afraid for her animals that she cherishes so much and that she decided to house in the farm that she had built in La Garrigue, his other property located a few kilometers from La Madrague.
“The water, driven by the incessant rain, has seeped into every corner of the garden, invading the paths, drowning the flowers and covering the vegetation with a dark and muddy layer”explains Brigitte Bardot to France Dimanche before indicating that she has never witnessed such a spectacle in sixty years of living in La Madrague.
“It was as if the sea wanted to invade the land, and my little paradise with it.”she concluded, still terrified by what she had just experienced. Since the start of the week, the sun has returned to Saint-Tropez but the damage is colossal and Brigitte Bardot is one of the victims of the wrath of the sky.
