It is a flood never seen for more than forty years in Rennes. In the Breton capital, crossed by two rivers, the Ille and the Vilaine, “we are today (Sunday) to values which are superior to those we had found in 1981”, a reference year for floods, commented the mayor, Nathalie Appéré, during a press point on Sunday morning. “Unfortunately the flood peak has not yet been reached,” she added in a statement released at the end of the day. “The decline will be slow and will probably not start until Wednesday,” said the elected official.
