Severe flooding engulfs Val de Londres valley near Pic Saint-Loup in Hérault, France

On December 22, 2025, in Hérault, France, @arnobour shared a video showing severe flooding in the Val de Londres valley at the foot of Pic Saint-Loup. The footage captures fast-moving, muddy floodwaters inundating fields, roads, and rural paths as the Vidourle River overflowed after intense rainfall. Gray skies loom over the landscape, with Pic Saint-Loup visible in the distance. The flooding followed 100–130 mm of rain from a Mediterranean weather episode and was part of a broader Cévennes flooding event that prompted Météo-France to issue red flood alerts across Hérault, with evacuations reported in nearby areas and river levels rising far above normal.
