The town hall of Bordeaux warns this Sunday evening on "significant overflows of the Garonne" expected from 8 am on Monday.

The municipality invites owners of vehicles parked near the banks or in underground parking lots to move them.

The Allées Serr esplanade is available to them free of charge.

The municipality is also closing several roads that are likely to be particularly flooded and whose list is online on the city's website.

Traffic difficulties are to be expected until the end of the morning at the entrances to Bordeaux.
