On Tuesday, the Seine's water level was sitting at 16 feet — the current flood emergency level is "orange," the highest warning below "red." But in 1910, Parisians had to hop aboard rowboats, make deliveries through windows, and construct makeshift pathways through the City of Lights when the Seine rose to 28 feet, causing what's known as the Great Flood of Paris.
Italian weekly newspaper La Domenica del Corrierepublished an illustration of the floods on its front cover on Jan. 30, 1910. It's a wildly over-the-top but undeniably effective representation of the city's situation: Citizens tumbling out of trains into row boats, using wood for pathways and being carried above the water level. Sure, it's artistic license in action, but it gets the point across.

We dug into the archives to take a look at the worst flood Paris has ever experienced.
