Video shows sea foam washing ashore in western France on Sunday (December 27).
The sight comes as thousands of homes in north-western France were deprived of electricity on Sunday due to storm Bella sweeping through the area, with wind gusts of up to 120 km/h on the coast.
More than 6,000 homes were without power in Normandy and around 4,000 in Brittany, electricity distributor Enedis said on Twitter.
