Heat wave: in Paris, in the heat of the night in 15 photos

After a scorching Friday and before Saturday when the thermometer is expected to climb again, some Parisians have decided not to go to bed once the sun has fallen.

All the same, it must have been 24 degrees at its “coolest”, the temperature one must have at the end of June or the beginning of July.

Traveling forward in the eye of the Parisian on this city which is not sleepy with as leading roles: workers with brushes in hand at the Gare de l'Est (Xe), dancers on the Quai Saint-Bernard (Ve) , basketball players on the Quai de Jemmapes (10th century) or chicha smokers on the steps of the Sacré-Coeur (18th century).
