Storm-induced coastal flooding are major natural disasters, responsible for thousands of deaths and billions of euros of damages each year. The central part of the Bay of Biscay is vulnerable to this hazard, as recently shown by the strong flooding induced by Xynthia in 2010. This study aims to improve the understanding of storm surges and coastal floods in this area of France, using several methods such as numerical or static modeling. To assess the uniqueness of Xynthia, historical researches of coastal floods affecting the study area for 500 years was conducted. Numerical modeling of the storm surges related to 5 storms of the 20th century revealed by these researches shows that various meteo-oceanic settings induced water levels and coa...
