In Saint-Nicolas-de-Redon, the commercial area remains submerged under several meters of water, affecting local businesses, including a supermarket, and prompting police patrols to prevent looting.

Cleanup operations are being organized in Rennes and Pont-Réan, as local authorities work to manage the aftermath of the flooding.

Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau and other ministers are scheduled to visit the affected areas today to assess the situation and provide support.

The west of France has been grappling with significant flooding for the past week, but improved weather conditions are anticipated starting today.

On February 1, 2025, the water levels in Redon, which has been flooded for three days, are beginning to decrease, with local authorities confirming stabilization of the Vilaine river and a decline in the Oust river.

A global decrease in precipitation is expected to aid ongoing flood recovery efforts, particularly in the Vilaine basin and its tributaries.

Previously, the department was under a red alert issued by Météo France due to severe flooding, but Ille-et-Vilaine has now been downgraded to an orange alert effective from this morning.

As of today, Météo France has placed eight departments, including Somme, Oise, Val-d'Oise, Eure, and Sarthe, under an orange alert for flooding due to anticipated conditions over the weekend.

Approximately 1,108 individuals have been evacuated across Ille-et-Vilaine, including 150 from Redon and 310 from Saint-Nicolas-de-Redon, with additional pumps being installed to expedite water removal.

While flood levels are receding, Vigicrues warns that it will take a similar duration to the flooding phase to return to non-overflowing levels.

The Redon city council has initiated a psychological support service for residents affected by the flooding, alongside a crowdfunding initiative in collaboration with the Red Cross to assist those impacted.

The region is forecasted to experience calm, dry, and cold weather in the coming days, influenced by anticyclonic conditions.
