Saint Martin Vésubie where we are staying in France’s Alpes-Maritimes department had devastating floods in October of 2020. The Vésubie River was a few meters wide when we saw it today, but during the flood it was 180 meters wide. The pictures of the devastation that you can see online are pretty amazing.
Today we drove along the river up into the Mercantour National park to do a hike. Every bridge had either been replaced or was being replaced. The river must have just roared out of the mountains. The wide area of devastation is impressive. if you are interested the pictures here and here are amazing.
We did the Circuit du Cavalier hike from AllTrails. It was 4 miles with almost 1300 feet of elevation gain. We only saw one other person on the whole hike. it was lightly misting and the skies were grey for most of the hike but it was still beautiful and a wonderful hike.
For dinner we had pizza at Restaurant L’Embuscade.

The photos in your links remind me of the devastating floods in North Carolina. In the five years since the flood, is everything downtown repaired and back to normal?

Our friend in North Carolina said the same thing! They are still working on the roads but it looked to us like the town had been repaired.
