Floodwaters have forced thousands of people to evacuate their homes and dozens of schools have closed south of Paris. Julliard said the works in the museums, which overlook the Seine, were not at risk as of early Friday. Environment Minister Segolene Royal told France 2 television on Friday that the floods may take several weeks to subside. PARIS, June 3 (Reuters) - The Louvre and Orsay museums in Paris moved art works stored underground to safety on Friday as the swollen river Seine kept rising, the city's deputy mayor said, following days of torrential rains that have killed two people. Some low lying roads running along the river are underwater and one underground commuter line has been closed.
