From January 18 to March 8, the capital faced one of the worst floods in its history.
The Seine rose to 8.62 meters<\/strong>.
For forty-five days, the city was unrecognizable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is known as the centennial flood<\/strong>,
the most significant ever recorded in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The river overflowed.
Within about ten days, water invaded the streets.
On January 28, the Austerlitz Bridge gauge recorded a historic peak: 8.62 meters<\/strong>.
At the Pont de l\u2019Alma, the famous Zouave statue had water up to its shoulders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The water receded over 35 days<\/strong>.
In total: 45 days underwater<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rain, snow, freezing temperatures\u2026
Several rivers overflowed: the Yonne, the Loing, the Grand Morin.
Even the underground layers of the Paris Basin became saturated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even today, traces remain.
On Rue de Bellechasse, on the fa\u00e7ade of the French Academy of Agriculture.
At the Quinze-Vingts Hospital.
On the Alexandre III Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Horizontal markers engraved with \u201c1910\u201d<\/strong> show how high the water rose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A city transformed.
A catastrophe forever etched into the memory of Paris.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
