AFP PICTURES OF THE YEAR 2016 A photo taken on June 5, 2016 at night shows the lighted Eiffel Tower in front of the Seine river in front Beaugrenelle in Paris. Parisians were urged to stay away from the Seine, which has spilled over its banks in places and on June 3, 2016 rose 6.07 metres (19ft 9ins) above its normal level. Authorities said the river could swell to "perhaps 6.5 metres (21 feet) in a worst-case scenario", comfortably beating a level reached during floods in 1982. The record remains the 8.68 metres reached during devastating floods in 1910. / AFP PHOTO / Bertrand GUAY
