<p>Traffic in the capital was snarled up as flooding choked roads and several Paris railway stations were shut.</p>
<p>The country&#8217;s environment ministry said the Seine had not reached such levels since 1982.</p>
<p>The Louvre Museum was closed on Friday as staff worked to remove artworks from rooms threatened by the rising water.</p>
<p>French President Francois Hollande has said a &#8220;natural disaster&#8221; will be formally declared next week in a Cabinet meeting for areas most affected by the flooding that has hit Paris and France&#8217;s central regions.</p>
<p>French energy company Enedis said more than 20,000 customers were without power on Friday as the result of flooding.</p>
<p>In a text message, the company said the blackouts were concentrated in the departments of Seine et Marne and Essonne &#8211; to the east and south of Paris, respectively.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, German officials have recovered the body of a sixth person who died in this week&#8217;s flooding in Bavaria, near the Austrian border.</p>
<p>Authorities said the 65-year-old man&#8217;s body was found overnight in the town of Simbach am Inn, which was inundated on Wednesday.</p>
<p>Now that floodwater has receded in the area, the search continues for other missing people.</p>
<p>Local police told the dpa news agency on Friday that they were still trying to locate an elderly couple in Simbach.</p>
<p>That brings the total of people killed in flooding in Germany over the last week to 10 &#8211; including four in Baden-Wuerttemberg, to Bavaria&#8217;s west, in flooding on Sunday and Monday.</p>
<p>Elsewhere, authorities said two people died and 200 people were evacuated from their homes as floods swept parts of eastern Romania.</p>
<p>The interior ministry said 7,000 firefighters, police and others had been dispatched overnight on Friday to help in flood rescue efforts.</p>
<p>The ministry said in a statement that a man died after a torrent of water knocked him off his bicycle in the eastern village of Ruginesti. In Bacau county, in eastern Romania, another man was found drowned.</p>
