Paris passed through water.

Recominedo all the virtual exhibition "Paris innondé" organized by the Galerie des Bibliophiles and the city of Paris. The exhibition took place between January 8 and March 28 last, but you can visit virtually thanks to multimedia services Mairie de Paris.
Indeed, in January 1910, Paris knows a terrible week because of an exceptional flood, caused by a catastrophic weather, the largest in its history without being as fatal as that which occurred in 1658. The water invaded the underground track in 1910 and recently opened for the subway and the sewers. The level of the Seine was even able to reach the railway station Saint-Lazare.
