Insurers in the Landes region of France have begun assessing damage at private properties in areas hit by disaster, though the full extent of losses remains difficult to calculate.
A TF1 crew followed one of the first assessments to take place in Biscarrosse. Across the affected zone, 450 homes have been destroyed.
Among those affected is Yannick, who bought a 160-square-metre house on the edge of a forest ten years ago. The property burned down about a week ago. It could take many long months, or even years, before he is able to return to his home, according to the report.
