In Chablis, in Yonne, the flood peak was reached during the night from Tuesday to Wednesday. The flood wave continues to spread and residents are distraught in the face of this second rise in water levels in the space of three weeks.
“There is no more heating and hot water, it’s ruined,” says Edwige, one of the victims of the flood. "We evacuate but it comes up from below. As long as the flood doesn't reach the top, it's endless. I know I'm fighting for nothing at all," she adds.
