St-Nicolas church in the city of Barfleur; a woman was found dead behind the church

She was found behind the St-Nicolas church in the city of Barfleur, where she was holidaying.

The woman was reportedly staying with her family in a rented cottage near the city port.

Gendarmerie – French local police units – are now probing her death.

It comes just days after another Brit tourist was killed in France in a road accident while jogging with her husband.

The unnamed 35-year-old woman was running on Avenue Charles-de-Gaulle in Beaune, when a car tragically hit her.

The 35-year-old couldn’t be resuscitated and sadly died at the scene.

In January, a female Brit tragically died in a horror accidental ski crash in France with another UK tourist while on a difficult black slope.

A 62-year-old woman was declared dead at the location following a reported loss of control of her skis, leading to a collision with another British skier at the Les Arcs resort.

The woman, whose identity has not been disclosed, is reported to have collided directly with a 35-year-old man on the black slope of the Aiguille Rouge run, as noted by the French news source Le Dauphine.
