Paris is on alert as the swollen Seine continues to creep higher, with forecasters expecting the flooding to peak at the end of the weekend. IMAGES
The level of the River Seine exceeds four metres in some areas of Paris, following heavy rains throughout the weekend. According to the latest forecasts, the alert level remains yellow, meaning major damage is likely to be avoided although access to the river banks remains closed. IMAGES
