flooding in the dordogne

May 2008, and a few days of exceptionally heavy rain led to a great deal of flooding and damage in the Dordogne and surrounding areas. The picture shows the road, with the tops of fence posts just visible.

Luckily the poor weather tends to pass quickly, but this type of flooding can occur at any time of the year (this years was the worst for 20 years) disrupting traffic and isolating towns and villages for a day or two.
