UPDATE: A news article by AccuWeather and also this article (in French) has meteorological details. Incredible photos of a tornado (shown below) were captured near Seysses (southwest France) and Toulouse (the capital of the Midi-Pyrenees region, the largest region in metropolitan France) Sunday evening. The MapSpace radar showed a strong storm moving northeast between 7 and 8 p.m. local time:

Below is a Storify story which I wrote, that captures the storm on video and in photos:
