Temperatures soared to near 100 degrees across several regions of the country on Saturday. Meteorologists forecast that Sunday will see even higher temperatures, worsening the intense heat conditions.
During the Tour de France on Tuesday, cyclist Thibault Guernalec poured water over himself to combat the scorching heat. The heat wave, described as punishing, has led to significant lifestyle disruptions in France.
Famous landmarks have adjusted operations, closing early this weekend to ensure the safety of visitors and staff. The extreme heat has also impacted sporting events. Organizers of the Tour de France decided to shorten one of the race routes scheduled for Sunday to protect participants.
These measures reflect the severity of the heat wave affecting the region. Authorities encourage the public to take necessary precautions to stay safe during this period of extreme weather.
