Flood in Uzès: The Aftermath

The Flood Aftermath

The south of France flood hit many towns and villages that caused significant damage to fragile buildings and roadways. In the center of historic Uzès, the biggest problem was water that leaked through walls, windows, and roofs. Villages below Uzès are suffering from flood damage.

The flood event around Uzès was recorded with some amazing photography. Several photos were given to me by friends who asked me to share them with you.

Wine time at the Duchey Wine time. Sea shells from South Carolina remind me of storms from the past.
