Hundreds of people in the city have been forced to evacuate their homes due to severe flooding.
According to French media a number of popular tourist destinations including the Louvre have been closed in order to avoid further damage.
Meanwhile tunnels and road networks across the city have also been closed as a precautionary measure with waters set to rise above 20ft.
The mass evacuation comes after the river reached a staggering 18ft high on Friday at the Austerlitz Bridge which is located in the east of the French capital.
