I Documented The Flood In Paris

Over the weekend, we had a crazy flood in Paris. The Seine rose by a whopping 6.10m! It flooded buildings, public transports, and businesses. The last time the Seine got this high was more than 30 years ago. While it is exciting to experience, it was also quite troublesome for me.

You see, I live right next to the Seine.A few extra centimeters of water, and I would have been stuck at home with my wife and toddler.

Once the situation had been stabilized, I wanted to document it and not wait another 30 years or so for a similar situation. So I ventured out with one goal in mind: To document the flood without getting distracted by the gorgeous architecture of the city.
