Parisians sunbathe on the lawns of Belleville Park as temperatures soar above 30 degrees in the capital and a heatwave peaks across France, with 16 departments still under an orange 'heatwave' warning, according to France's weather agency, Meteo-France.

French Health Minister urged the French public to stay hydrated and to moderate their alcohol consumption to avoid exposure to heat, especially between 11 am and 4 pm and to stay hydrated.
