On these videos, we can see real rivers in the streets of Cassis, already flooded on Wednesday morning. “In an hour the city overflowed, testifies on franceinfo Yohan Amsallem, baker in Cassis. The two entrances leading to the bakery were like torrents. It’s like when you go rafting, you put a canoe on except there are no rocks.”
