Tonight's storms have caused the Sorgues River to swell in Saint-Affrique, leading to quay closures and a call for vigilance.

This night's heavy rains, combined with drought conditions that have made the soil impermeable, caused the Sorgues River to react late last night. Pedestrian access to the river's quays is currently closed.
With further rainfall forecast for today, owners of vehicles parked at the Parking des Grèves are asked to be particularly vigilant. It is advised not to enter flooded or potentially flooded areas and to respect the safety measures in place.

Thank you for your vigilance and understanding.
