After a night of intense rainfall, Météo-France's yellow alert is expected to end around 10 AM this Tuesday, October 20, 2026. However, the situation remains disrupted in several areas of Nîmes.
Municipal reception offices will remain closed until 12 PM. The Halles de Nîmes and the market at Chemin-Bas-d’Avignon are closed this morning, with affected vendors informed yesterday evening. Municipal daycare centers will reopen from 1:30 PM.
The Léo Rousson and La Placette leisure centers are open and receiving the public. Other sites are currently being assessed for potential reopening from 1:30 PM. The Mas Boulbon site will remain closed due to flooding caused by the Vistre river overflowing its banks, which has degraded access and rendered the micro-wastewater treatment plant inoperable. Children from this site will be redirected to ALSH Capouchiné.
Enedis reports 179 power outage incidents affecting as many streets in Nîmes, with a partial resolution expected by midday. Traffic conditions remain difficult in certain sectors, causing disruptions on six public transport lines.
The City of Nîmes advises residents to exercise caution when traveling and to consider access conditions to various municipal facilities.
