Short Description: In January 1910, the areas of Billancourt and Boulogne were inundated by the flooding of the Seine, affecting more than 150 hectares, destroying 1,700 homes and factories, and leaving thousands of people homeless and out of work. This book is a visual record comprising more than 200 postcards, offering a glimpse of what the two towns were like, with their streets that have since disappeared or been altered.
