A pipe burst in the Boris-Vildé and Jean-Lavaud streets area of Fontenay-aux-Roses has led to significant flooding, power outages, and traffic disruptions.

The incident particularly affected the basement of the restaurant Le Colibri on Boris-Vildé street, where the water level exceeded two meters. Safety measures have been implemented to prevent risks related to electrical installations, resulting in a power interruption in part of Boris-Vildé and Jean-Lavaud streets.
The rupture, located at the bottom of Jean-Lavaud street, also caused erosion of the embankment, mainly on d'Estienne-d'Orves street. Traffic is currently maintained on one half of the road, and the City urges users to exercise caution.
Emergency services are on-site to secure the area. The City is monitoring the situation and will provide further updates.
