![Alerte visiteurs]()
Visitor alertDue to recent weather conditions, river levels in the agglomeration are very high. Some paths are impassable and inaccessible.
Preventive measures are underway (increased surveillance, closure of parking lots near rivers, etc.).
We therefore ask you to remain particularly vigilant.
