Cyclone Zeus was an extratropical cyclone and European windstorm which affected France on 6–7 March 2017. The storm developed rapidly and moved quickly across France on a north-west/south-east trajectory from Finistère in Brittany to the Alpes-Maritimes then Corsica. The storm's rapid strengthening resulted in much stronger winds than initially expected, with a maximum gust of 193 kilometres per hour (120 mph) recorded in Camaret-sur-Mer, Finistère.
Météo-France reported 7% of French territory experienced winds in excess of 120 kilometres per hour (75 mph), Météo-France described it as the tenth most severe storm to impact France between 1980 and 2017.[4] The storm was the costliest storm of the 2016/17 winter across Europe.[5]
