The Seine is at epic heights, and has risen up over the roadways and walks along the river. It's pretty bad, and has totally ruined Roland Garros for the first time in decades (the reason I'm here).

I'm scheduled for the train tomorrow, and am hoping it's going to go along ok! A lot of people are having a much worse time further south of Paris, it's pretty relentless. It's not heavy rain, just relentless. We had a break today, but stuck in fog and clouds. It's supposed to return tomorrow.
