Brittany, France, is grappling with historic floods as the depression Ivo exacerbates the impact of previous storms Eowyn and Herminia.

The regions of Ille-et-Vilaine, Morbihan, and Loire-Atlantique remain on red alert, with thousands evacuated and significant disruptions to daily life.

In Redon, rising waters have encircled homes, forcing residents to seek emergency shelter.

Meanwhile, Rennes faces its worst flooding since 1981, with submerged streets and overwhelmed flood defenses.

Authorities warn that the peak of the flooding is yet to come, with heavy rains expected to persist through the week.

Despite the devastation, no casualties have been reported, and emergency services continue to assist affected communities.
