Super crue !

Well, not really but that's what everyone is talking about at the moment. Basically (and historically), everyone has been "waiting" for the next catastrophic flood to hit Paris. It's supposed to happen once every hundred years and the last one (the Big one) was the infamous 1910 flood. So it's technically overdue and, admittedly, this time around, the level is quite impressive: they've closed the quays (well, you could swim there, anyway), some metro and train lines (including mine, as it happens, ô joie) some museums etc. It's quite the event.

Some pictures here or here.

Plus two pics that my sister took while driving back home ( from Paris )

And because everyone has been taking pictures of the banks of the Seine, here are ( a couple taken on our way home, in Choisy )

Things have been a bit eventful but, in reality, we're lucky, we've been spared from a serious flood here, which isn't the case of everyone.

I'm going to Lausanne (Switzerland) for work next week, I'm hoping the weather will be more pleasant there ;)

Before I post this, if you're curious, you can see photos of the infamous 1910 flood in Paris.
