Not yet a flood


All of the rivers in France are well above normal levels and the Loire is no exception.  It's now the highest I've seen it (of course that's only covers a period of two years).  Even so, it's got a very long way to go before the town of Amboise would flood.  That's not much consolation for the new bike path bridge however.  Compare this photo with the one I recently took on the day it was put in place...click here to see it.

  1. Ouh...La Loire est bien connue pour être extrêmiste: soit à sec, soit débordante. Espérons qu'elle restera raisonnable.

  3. Yes, just a bit more water not only under the bridge but over the bridge

  4. Ha! That's right, Joe, but I don't think the planners expected it so soon. It's still underwater and with more rain in the forecast, it'll probably stay that way awhile.
