Monday, February 8, 2016 at 17 hours, a wave surprised a couple walk on the beach Retired Porsguen in Portsall, in Finistère, in spite of the storm that hit the coast of Brittany. The wave first swept away a man aged 75 and his wife of 76 years was swept away in turn by a second wave in wanting to help her husband.
They were eventually rescued by a Parisian who rents a house in Landéda for the winter, in the company of a friend. A third man has also come lend a hand. This is Eric Roudaut, 42, a mechanic from Lannilis, a small town located near Portsall.
The retired couple was taken to the hospital of La Cavale Blanche in Brest. The husband and wife are fine.
