La Vienne, rivière affluente de la Loire provoque le plu souvent des inondations de plaine c'est-à-dire des inondations qui durent généralement quelques jours et qui font suite au débordement lent et progressif du cours d'eau.
Au pied du Pont Neuf, en descendant l'escalier jusqu'au bord de la Vienne, on peut remarquer une pierre en granite gravée de deux repères de crues partiellement effacées
