WE'RE HAVING A HEAT WAVE

Shade and water at Place de la Contrescarpe, in the heart of the village-like Mouffetard neighborhood in the Latin Quarter. Ringed by bistros, cafés and bars, the festive place is a favorite watering hole of university students. 

Vocabulary
la canicule:  heat wave
une fontaine d'eau:  a water fountain
un abreuvoir:  a watering hole, watering place; drinking trough

  1. My air conditioner broke in the middle of a heat wave and not having air conditioning in Fort Myers is almost unheard of in the summer.
