Wednesday August 3 is the hottest day of the new heatwave episode. The mercury reached 40°C in the Southwest. 26 departments are still placed in orange vigilance. Everyone sought freshness.

In Saint-Die-des-Vosges (Vosges)the 600 m altitude is no longer enough to protect the city and its inhabitants from heat waves. “Hereit’s too hot. It is sad. We’re going to the catamaran”says a man. “We no longer find our beautiful years when everything was fresh, when we still had little corners to hide. It’s not the same”regrets a woman.

The points of freshness are rare. Children prefer water games. A young girl rides a scooter to get more air. In Royan (Charente Maritime)campers seek freshness. They put the fan in the tent. Some put towels on their tent to try to gain some shade. Wednesday, August 3 was the hottest day of the week for the third heat wave in less than two months.
