France-Italy train travel suspended for 'at least several days' after storms
The storms in the Maurienne Valley around the border station of Modane in France had caused mud to build up on the tracks, prompting traffic to be suspended from 3pm on Monday, the operator said.

The storm prompted floods in Modane with mud covering the tracks in the station, the last stop on the line before Italy. The floods caused damage in the town but no casualties were reported.
The high-speed train service that links Paris with Turin and Milan was out of action for 19 months after a landslide badly damaged the track in 2023.
It reopened in March 2025, offering three round trips per day on the French SNCF service and two round trips per day via the Italian Frecciarossa, whisking passengers from Paris to the great cities of northern Italy in just six or seven hours.

Roberto Cavalli launches luxury hospitality partnerships in Ibiza and Cannes
Italian fashion label Roberto Cavalli has brought its brand of unabashed glamour and Mediterranean elegance to the high-end hospitality universe through exclusive collaborations with Ibiza hotel The Unexpected and Annex Beach hotel in Cannes. The label has brought its bold aesthetic to new Ibiza luxury destination The Unexpected Hotel, which is located in the heart of Playa d'en Bossa. The hotel was developed as part of the renovation of the Ushuaïa Tower and is inspired by the iconic Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel, known for its excellent services and entertainment, avant-garde design, and haute gastronomy. Cavalli's aesthetic takeover covers the hotel's Oyster & Caviar Bar, located next to the recently opened restaurant- Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen. The fashion house has customised every detail of the space with its new Ray of Sea print, from sun loungers to beach towels, pillows, umbrellas, and even the private Jacuzzi on the VIP terrace. Ray of Sea was designed by Cavalli's creative director Fausto Puglisi as part of an exclusive capsule for Summer 2025. The print represents an evolution of the archival Ray of Gold print, introduced on the runway for the brand's spring/ summer 2007 collection. Inspired by sunlight reflected on a gold Art Deco lighter that belonged to the brand's founder, Roberto Cavalli, the print has now been reinterpreted in a Miami Blue hue. Following the Cannes Film Festival, the Italian label returned to the French Riviera for its new collaboration with Annex Beach. The space celebrates Roberto Cavalli's aesthetic universe with an installation that juxtaposes its Zebra Stripes and Ray of Sea prints. Cavalli sofas, cushions, beach towels, sun loungers, and tableware have transformed the beach destination into a true expression of the brand's lifestyle vision.
