FLOODS in Germany and France have killed at least 10 people and forced thousands from their homes, officials said as Paris's Louvre museum moved treasures out of reach of the swollen Seine.
The world's most visited museum shut its doors on Friday to evacuate artworks from its basement storage, as the nearby river began to burst its banks following days of torrential rain.

Forecasters in both countries warned of more downpours over the next 24 hours.
