The river Seine remained flooded after torrential downpours further upstream continued to cause disruption to transportation across Paris on Wednesday. Roads and tunnels near the river were closed. The Paris Regional C train (RER C) line was partially shut down.

Some residents were forced to use a small boat to get to work, as roads and walkways near the riverbanks have become flooded.
