In the Lot-et-Garonne region of France, residents are grappling with the trauma of new floods, occurring just five years after the devastating inundations of 2021. While the floodwaters are receding, leaving behind significant damage, many inhabitants, like Claude and Viviane, are contemplating relocation due to the recurring nature of these events. Claude, whose home in Marmande was submerged by 1.20 meters of water, is traumatized by the experience and the arduous cleanup, noting that it took two years for his home to recover from the previous flood. He plans to sell his house via a life annuity as he believes it is unsellable on the open market due to its flood-prone location. Viviane, also a flood victim in Fourques, faces monumental cleanup and expenses, and has already tried to sell her home unsuccessfully, with potential buyers deterred by the flood risk. Both express despair at the prospect of such events happening every five years, contrasting it with the historical frequency of once every 40 years, and are seeking to move to safer areas.
