Summary[edit]

Description
English: U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry takes a cellphone picture of the rain-swollen Seine River - running so high that boats cannot pass under Paris bridges, and art is being removed from the ground floors of the Louvre and other nearby museums - after he held a bilateral meeting with French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault at the French Foreign Ministry on June 4, 2016. [State Department Photo/Public Domain].

Deutsch: US-Aussenminister John Kerry macht sich ein Bild von den Überschwemmungen im Jahr 2016 in Paris nach europaweiten starken Regenfällen Ende Mai und Anfang Juni, nicht nur in Frankreich. Das Foto vom 4. Juni entstand nach einem bilateralen Treffen im französischen Aussenministerium am Quai d'Orsay, dessen Balkon ebenfalls einen ersten Blick auf die Hochwasser führende Seine ermöglicht hatte.
Flussaufwärts - noch hinter dem Fussgängersteg Passerelle Léopold-Sédar-Senghor - ist am linken Ufer der Louvre am Dach des Gebäudes erkennbar, aus welchem Kunstwerke von den Untergeschossen des Musems in Sicherheit gebracht worden waren; davor liegen zum Wohnboot umgebaute Péniche-Transportschiffe am überschwemmten Ufer des Hafens vor den Tuilerien. Auf der andren Flussseite der nach vielen Hochwasserereignissen im Laufe der Stadtgeschichte stark befestigten Seine sind die weissen Batobus-Fahrgastschiffe am Ufer des Port de Solférino vor dem Musée d'Orsay geparkt, die bei solch starken Wassermassen nicht unter den Brückenbogen hindurchpassen.
