Overview

• Five departments in Nouvelle-Aquitaine remain under orange flood alert as downstream sections of the Isle and Dronne rivers continue to rise.
• Water levels on upstream rivers, including the Vézère and Isle at Périgueux, have peaked and are now receding, signaling improving conditions in those areas.
• The Isle at Périgueux reached a record level of 3.43 meters overnight, the highest since 1993, before beginning to fall early Tuesday morning.
• Authorities have evacuated 138 people as a precaution since Saturday, with 13 roads still closed due to flooding as of Tuesday morning.
• Material damage remains limited, with minor flooding reported in cellars; downstream areas are expected to see flood peaks later today or tonight.
