  abstract = {{T}his paper presents a comparison of models for extreme rainfall and flood values. {B}ased on a large set of thousands of rainfall and discharge data, the {F}rench {E}xtra{F}lo project showed that design estimate of extreme values based on the fitting of a distribution on a limited sample of maximum values is very inaccurate when only a few decades of observation are available. {S}ome interesting alternatives are possible, using a regional approach, or historical data when available, or simulation methods, or sedimentological or geochemical signatures of flood deposits.},
