In plain language

A flood occurred in France between October 20 and 22, 2026. This event led to twenty-one people leaving their homes and sadly resulted in one death.

What is a flood? A flood happens when water overflows onto land that is usually dry. It often occurs after heavy rain or when rivers rise too high for their banks to hold. When the soil cannot absorb the extra water, it pools or flows across the ground, potentially reaching homes and roads.

Never walk or drive through moving water, as it can be much deeper and stronger than it looks from the surface.
