Extreme temperatures in France, the authorities of 93 of the 96 departments of which have imposed restrictions on the use of drinking water by the population, are not without consequences for tourists.

In particular, travelers from Northern Europe have reduced their stay in the south of France. Staying most of the day in a cottage or hotel protected from the heat no longer makes sense for them.

For those who stayed or just started their vacation, extreme weather conditions affected the rest both in the mountains and at sea.

From the sea, fires make it difficult to access the coast in a number of regions, in particular, the Gironde. For some vacationers, sea bathing is losing its appeal. On the Cote d'Azur and Corsica, the water temperature in the Mediterranean reaches 30 degrees. At the same time, the use of a beach shower is already prohibited in a number of resort areas.

Nevertheless, according to experts, the intense heat should not lead to too large financial losses for the French tourism industry.
