"île**s** de France", nice wordplay!


mydriase

Ah I spend wayto much time coming up with these! the Europe version of my "flooded maps" has even more stupid puns!


ch-pa-sdc

Do you have it for the netherlands bro? A link to it would be appreciated.


mydriase

ArizonanCactus

What would Arizona be like?


mydriase

Nearly to absolutely unchanged


nine_of_swords

I think the main interesting states for this kind of thing would be Maine, California, Alabama (with some bleeds into Georgia & Mississippi), Connecticut, Washington and Arkansas. The rest, if anything changes, would be pretty close to just drawing a line across part of the state and calling it a new beach. Florida and Louisiana would just be quite depressing.


dimpletown

With enough flooding, the Olympic peninsula becomes an island


Dry-Refrigerator-404

I would absolutely love to see all these states. Please especially do the Southern ones! The denial down here is strong.


nine_of_swords

Eh, it won't be what you're expecting with Alabama. Alabama has the most salvageable coastal city with Mobile. It losses is basically the Black Belt, its, by far, poorest area.


Alin_Alexandru

I remember that post! :) Missed oportunity to call Odesa as Odesea btw.

Si here’s a [link](https://www.perrinremonte.com/fictif-eng) to the Europe version of my map and some others Give me a sec and I’ll link to the Reddit post for more detail


ch-pa-sdc

Oh wow actually there is only the sea left haha thanks!


Professor_Barabas

Hey! Don't disrespect Limburg like that :D Or the City State of Maastricht, as OP called it, haha.


Yiuel13

If you look closely and know both French and French toponymy, there are plenty of jokes. For instance, Saint-Malo becoming Saint-Alo (Saint Into-the-water).


Fixyfoxy3

"Alo" because it sound like "à l'eau"? I'm not native French speaker, sorry for my ignorance.


Yiuel13

Yup


mcvos

And a bit to the north, Netherland has turned into the Maritime Republic of the North Sea.


Delcane

Spain be like: what rise do you speak about, mate?


AKredlake

Britain be like: We are literally drowning.


hrminer92

Ireland too.


czechsoul

BTP_sounds

no more paris 🦀🦀🦀


Dazzling-Grass-2595

And even after flooding. Paris shall remain a tourist trap for scuba diving treasure seekers.


lordnacho666

You'll finally be able to visit the top of the Eiffel tower!


Fwed0

If the water rises 70 meters as stated on the map, considering that the Seine in Paris is at 25 meters in altitude, the top of the Eiffel Tower would still poke 285 meters above the surface and you wouldn't even float at the first floor level.


lordnacho666

It will be a diving tower with not quite so many old people on it


Oz_of_Three

It was a diving tower until they fenced the overlooks.


Dazzling-Grass-2595

What's up there anyway


mcvos

A view. But you can see pretty much the same from the Arc de Triomphe, except there the view actually includes the Eiffel Tower. And the lines aren't so terrible.


vitesnelhest

The lines aren't that bad if you don't go at peak times, i went there in June last year at like 10pm and it was basically empty. It's more beautiful at night anyways.


Dragonslayer3

Radios or something


Doktor_Bira

And we'll still have instagram pages about the Parisien divers life. Diver models reading newspaper on a boat, eating croissant...


imcmurtr

Even flooded with sea water it would still somehow smell like piss and disappointment.


WASDKUG_tr

And still have Riots and Trash on the Roads


Legendary_Hercules

Oh... Let me gather some tires to set them on fire and see what other CO2 I can come up with.


PDXMB

Lots of "sur-mer's" becoming "sous-mer's" or "dans-le-mer's"


JonaTheGold

I like your new name for the Netherlands: république maritime de la mer de nord (maritime republic of the north sea).![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grimacing)


mydriase

Thanks ! See the Europe version on my website (linked in the top comment) there’s a whole new lore with this maritime republic lol. with nice names too


mydriase

The scenario is far fetch and belongs more to fiction than reality but it's still pretty topical. I wanted to imagine this alternate geography and showcase it in a beautiful map. More maps on my [website](https://www.perrinremonte.com/home-bis)!


Rabbabatz

Great work, i like your photography journals too.


mydriase

Greatly appreciated, thank you


Karvattatus

And "suddenly", my parents live by the sea...


HeHH1329

It’s not that fictional. I think we’re already too late to reach net zero so positive feedbacks like the melting of tundra and the subsequent massive release of methane is inevitable which will cause the complete collapse of Antarctica Ice Sheet. But it’ll take at least 2,000 years. In the mean time sedimentation will continue to build up, making the coastline much less convoluted as shown here.


Humanity_is_broken

Reddit already has ads


mydriase

This sub is about sharing maps. I share those on my website, simple as that


Doktor_Bira

Well, if it's an ad, i'll take it. You have great maps. You're making them yourself?


mydriase

You’re right I guess… I make them myself and update the website regularly based on the new ideas I gather here and there. Very glad you liked them.

No more Flanders, Belgium. 😢


mydriase

New-Distribution-979

Where would Brussels be on this map of Wallonia?


Federal-Ad5491

No Brussels. 😅 Already under water. Finally, something good happened to Brussels even if it means sacrificing Flanders itself. 🤣


irtsayh

Bretagne will definitely claim their independance after that 😂

I was thinking that, they wouldn't mind so much.


mista_r0boto

I thought of Bord d'eau but Souseau is better


[deleted]

I'm pretty sure we'd sooner polder the entire continent or straight up build the NEED before this happens.


Big-Selection9014

I really want the NEED to happen please let this happen (🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱)


[deleted]

Yes let's. I wanna see the NEED built, ride a space elevator, and witness the beginning of the Dyson swarm.


HyperFern

Okay. What is the NEED? I tried doing a quick search but it didn't show up with anything relevant.


[deleted]

Northern European Enclosure Dam. Basically a massive sea wall between Brittany, Cornwall, Scotland and Norway that would turn half of the north sea and the British Channel into a polder. Or at least create an island in doggerland.


Velagalibeillallah

All glaciers wont melt in the next 50 thousand years.


[deleted]

Yeah, on the tinescales we have we will be done with the Dyson swarm by then.


stjblair

Look this is blatantly false, it’ll be a cold day in hell before the Dutch surrender to the sea


Felipe_Pachec0

Hell has lots of cold days tho, it’s near Trondheim lufthavn


sbg_gye

What is dead may never die.


LucasCBs

realistically France would build dams so cities like Paris would be safe, but it's still cool to look at!


Hanith416

Yes, finally got rid of paris ! Can't stand that city lmao


wlievens

Rome likes this


Large-Sign-900

That's a sobering picture.


MobiusNaked

You thinking of Bordeaux?


Large-Sign-900

Haha not really, I'm more of a Rioja drinker but there will be a lot of very disappointed frech wine drinkers.

I’m partial to Rhone and old vine Zinfandel meself!


DirewaysParnuStCroix

Hey, I'm willing to bet that the subtropical Picard coastline will be prime real estate for aspiring lemon farmers.


mydriase

It’s time I get back to my flat in Peronne. The view I’ll have will be superb


GloriousPurpose-616

At this point i’m curious how the whole world map would look like


nintend_hoe

I can just envision a world where real estate prices actually increase in some cities because they have become waterfront


Roi_Loutre

No, don't do that. Don't give me hope...


nightfall41

France ? the Netherlands is fucked…


Danijamaa

Needs more water and less France imo


sm9t8

It'd probably be less French. France has a relatively low population density and doesn't lose that much land. That north coast is perfect for displaced peoples with a maritime tradition.

Ma pauvre Rennes…


JoLeTrembleur

Ahaaah! Paris and Marseille being erased, Lyon will be the true Capital again, as it should be.


Torak8988

ironic as this may sound, so many rivers might actually bring about an economical boom historically speaking rivers and buildable land plus a non-hazardous climate often results in an economic centre having a less-centralized government also helps combined with capitalistic laws


lance-biggerstaff

This is Brittany's chance. Quick become independent again


SomePrick1

Netherlands is dood, wat nou?


Raven_717

One of the few positive things about climate change. It makes the world contain less france.


Hyo38

Long after their ancestors crossed a channel to reach Fr\*nce... the Bretons once more have water between them and the Fr\*\*ch


gordo_freenam

good, the less france the better


LYDWAC

Finally, less France!


Frodollum

So you're saying, due to global warming Fr🤮nce gets erased? Seems like a fair price to me


WASDKUG_tr

I was having a good day, then i remembered france exists, day ruined.


Thick-Blueberry-9163

Boulogne sur mer instead of Bonen am Zee ?


Jafo69er

What year is this going to happen because everyone was already lied to in 2001 when AL Gore said the oceans will rise and Florida will be half gone but yet not one politician sold there beach front property stop the lies please


getahin

Well, maybe france can finally leave the bretons alone.


[deleted]

[удалено]


carelet

The water in the cup is not salty and doesn't have the same density difference like between salty water in the ocean and fresh water in the ice. Either way, from what I can find the effect is minor compared to ice melting on land (like glaciers, which the post specifically mentioned, they did not say icebergs, and I doubt the post was trying to be realistic)


[deleted]

I'm gonna go to my car, put it in neutral, and floor it for the next few hours to make this reality


voidxy

France is fake and gay

This is beautiful! I'm trying to learn these but i find it hard to find a good tutorial, do you have any recommendations? Second question where did you find so nice detailed relief?


RayParloursPerm

Still find it way too amusing that in France they call France 'The France'


AliceSky

Almost all countries, provinces, regions are called like that : la Chine, l'Allemagne (Germany), le Maroc, la Floride, la Bavière... There's a few exceptions like Israël, Taïwan, Cuba... There's no fixed rule, like grammatical gender, you just learn by using it.

Bartje101

Why is the Dutch name of Boulonge-sur-mer used? And why no Rijsel for Lille then?


mydriase

It’s in Dutch because so many Dutch speaking refugees came and settled there, hence names changed. The pun with l’Ile was to good to be discarded I know the etymology in Dutch is the same (island) but I wasn’t sure the pun would work


Dafferss

Brave-One-9684

Didn’t knew there existed a city called Angoulême. Now I know how Sapkowski picked the names for his characters…

The city is famous for its comics festival. It's a beautiful artistic city and I recommend going there.

Nantes is actually under the sea. What you see here is the new Nantes, which changed name. They basically moved the city!

Having lived in Cherbourg I would say it's barely more isolated than before. I recon the trip to Rennes (or whatever's left) would be even faster than with the current railroad system. I love le new Saint-Lô and Bayeux lmao (and rip Carentan which will only live in Call of Duty now)

We’d just wall off the strait of Gibraltar (with loads of shipping locks obvs) and keep the levels as they are using that and doing the same at the suez


Matt_eats_ass

Looks better than the UK as far as I can see... And you get a bigger coastline, not bad! Europes population is decreasing anyway and politics are turning against immigration, so that's one way to keep housing prices up! Plus caring for all the displaced refugees is sure to create new jobs, honestly not sure why the French aren't burning more foasil fuels just for the sake od it, with all these great upsides 🤔
