Heat records were broken in dozens of French cities on Saturday June 18, according to Météo France.
With 38 degrees, Rennes (Ille-et-Vilaine) broke its temperature record on Saturday June 18. In a pharmacy in Loire-Atlantique, two types of products are missing: sunscreens and foggers. In Orléans (Loiret), an ice cream maker filled cones all day. Despite the refreshing dishes served in a restaurant, few customers eat on the terrace, which faces south.
In Auxerre (Yonne), walkers have chosen a shaded park. “I feel bad, I don’t like this heat at all, we can’t do anything”, laments a woman. Others preferred mountain lakes. A campsite in the Vosges, 750 meters above sea level, is full. “It’s bearable here. The nights are cooler”, says a man. After the high temperatures, thunderstorms are expected in the west of the country. They begin to fall on Saturday evening in Gironde.
