People cool off in a fountain at the Andre Citroen park on August 19, 2012 in Paris, as the city sweltered under a summer heatwave. French authorities have issued a health alert for several regions this weekend after forecasters predicted unusually high temperatures in the southwest and centre of the country. An unexpected and sustained heatwave in the first two weeks of August 2003 left an estimated 15,000 mostly elderly people dead. AFP PHOTO / BERTRAND GUAY
