🇫🇷 Post-Heatwave News in France | Retirement Life | Village Life | Ep 189

Episode 189 is a fast verbal summary of the HEATWAVE articles that are pasted below this. They are all in print media and many will require a browser that translates from French to English if you need that. Last week was quite deadly for both humans and animals. But we have another somewhat less intense heatwave coming this week, too! Lots to think about as Climate Change really takes a bite out of our global lives.
