Extreme heat has killed three people in France, and almost 2,700 French schools have shut or cut timetables as heatwave warnings spread across Europe.
Temperatures in Bordeaux were forecast to cross 42C on Monday, with 49 French regions placed under a red alert.
"We don't know when temperatures will start falling," French Health Minister Stephanie Rist said on TF1.
Three elderly people, aged 80 to 95, died over the weekend near Bordeaux from heat-related health issues, a local official said.
