Quelle horreur !

 

The boat is usually in the river, not on the quayside

The riverside restaurant

We’ve had a lot of rain recently and the Dordogne river is high, but we thought all would be well when the rain stops.

Little did we know……………

If the river rises any higher...

The flooding of the riverside path has undermined this whole section of stone retaining wall . Other residents in the street have been advised to move their cars to a safer place in case the rest of the wall also disappears into the river.

View from the other side of the river

 

This is on our side of the river but on the other side of the bridge, for those who know our place.

The station wagon belongs to our friend Steffi. She was about to go out shopping but was delayed by a phone call when this happened. I’m suggesting she should buy herself a lotto ticket today.

Riverside houses on this street..... that is usually a pathway

Across the river in Sainte Foy la Grande.......the water level is still creeping up

Hoping that the road doesn't also crumble
or getting them out will be tricky

 

We await further developments.

Bonne journée mes amis
