The rising waters of the river that crosses the capital have crossed the 4m40 high bar, but for the moment the rise of the Seine is not dramatic.
Parisians never tire of the spectacle.
Smartphone in hand, even for many, a real camera around their necks, Parisians flock to immortalize this landscape "upset by the flood".
While the sun darts its winter rays on the currents that shake the edge of the water, many onlookers savor these few moments of pause in a daily life agitated by the Covid. "It makes me feel good to be there, to watch the water coming to our feet," said Liliana. "It's as if the space were bigger", adds this jogger whose circuit is reduced by the rise of the river. As for Kristimma, she put on her more dress for the occasion. “I come to take self-portraits with my stroller and my infant, because here the setting is magical. The Seine which overflows like that, it is really too beautiful! », Assures the mother by immortalizing the scene with her camera.
