The relentless rain over Paris, which caused the river Seine to burst its banks, has tued transport into a nightmare for tourists and commuters alike, halting train and boat services. Furthermore, rats are wreaking havoc on the streets of Paris! “Of course the floods [have] made us upset because we don’t have the Seine cruises,” a frustrated tourist told FRANCE 24 near the overflowing river, but insisted that did not change how he feels for the city. “I love Paris anyhow,” he said.
Australian tourist Debbie Komorowski, visiting the city for the fifth time, said, “Two years ago we had our wedding anniversary here, on the bench over there [on the Île de la Cité island in the heart of Paris]. And now it’s gone! We can’t believe it. It’s amazing and sad to see.”
