The worst of the low pressure system seems to have passed, but officials remain alert as further rainfall and high water levels remain.
One person has been killed as low pressure system, formerly storm, Kirk swept across France, according to local media reports. The Isle de France region saw severe flooding and record high water levels, as did the Alpes-Maritimes region.
The departement Seine-et-Marne in Isle de France was most severely impacted by the heavy rainfall, flooding houses and blocking several roads. A red flood alert announced on Thursday remains in place there as further rainfall and potential flooding is expected in the coming days.
The ex-hurricane also drenched most of Belgium, although the country saw only limited damage.
The Ardennes in the south received most of the rain. A flood in the town of Couvin led to the activation of the communal emergency plan as a precautionary measure.
While the worst has passed, local officials there remain vigilant as the water levels in the Eau Noire, a river that crosses into France, remain high.
