Due to floods, four departments of the country — Charente-Maritime, Gironde, Lot-et-Garonne, and Maine-et-Loire — have been placed in a red warning zone. Nine more departments are at an orange level. In some areas, there is still no electricity, about 1,700 people have been evacuated, and 5,000 homes are still without power.
The previous record was set in 2023, when it rained continuously for 32 days between October and November, the TV channel reports.
Minister for Ecological Transition Monique Barbu called the situation unprecedented and stressed that it is first necessary to accurately assess the extent of losses while the floods continue. Financial support will be provided to help farmers, and insurance companies have organized a mission to accelerate compensation in the most remote areas.
