Spring floods cost French insurers €430m

There were flash-floods in Paris in May and June, while back in January heavy rainfall had caused the River Seine to engulf riverside walkways in the capital and had led the world-famous Louvre museum to close a basement display of Islamic art, the Reuters report noted.
