Heavy snow has grounded planes at Marseille Provence Airport.

Airport officials have said the airport will remain closed well into Thursday.

French weather services said between 20 and 40cm (around a foot) of snow fell on the Bouches-du-Rhone region, closing roads, disrupting public transport services and leaving 10,000 homes without electricity.
