“We went to the swimming pool: it was an easy and cheap way to fight the heat. It’s very hot. Otherwise, we stay inside and close the blinds,” said a resident of Lyon in the southeastern part of France Nathalie Chopin.
In the measurement history of France, the heat record is 46 degrees. It was measured in 2018 in the village of Verargues in the south of France.
