Three people have died as winter storm Eleanor swept across most of northern Europe, causing widescale disruption.
A skier died in the French Alps and 15 others were injured elsewhere in the country, four of them seriously.
Two people were killed when they were swept away by a huge wave on Spain's northern Basque coast.
The storm, which hit most of northern Europe after battering the UK, has also cut power to tens of thousands of homes and affected transport.
Storm Eleanor is the UK's fifth named storm of the season.
In northern France, the storm cut power to more than 200,000 households and Eleanor is set to move to other regions throughout the day, including Corsica.
Air travel was also disrupted in the capital, Paris, and in the east of the country.
In Paris, the Eiffel Tower was closed because of the strong winds. The city's parks have also been closed until the storm dies down because of worries over falling tree branches.
