Mélanie and Christopher, a couple with two children, were helpless witnesses to the collapse of part of the cliff in Eure-et-Loir. The couple had owned their house for a year and a half, the couple had never imagined experiencing such a catastrophe.
Fortunately, neither Mélanie's son, born to a first partner, nor their 5-year-old daughter were in their usual play space, which could have, that day, cost them their lives. The cellar dug into the rock, at the foot of the cliffs, is inaccessible without having taken prisoners following the landslide. The BGRM, the national geological service, is authorized to lift the ban on living in the house, but it will take up to two years for the time needed to clear and secure the premises, according to the family insurance expert. The mother, who was very affected by the events, launches to find a solution to reunite her family again. The eldest went to live with his father, Mélania's ex-partner, to relieve the burden of caring for his grandparents.
