While we are expecting almost 40°C in Aveyron at the end of the week, Center Presse is touring the refreshing water points of Aveyron.
From today, Météo France is predicting a very early episode of high heat during which the heat wave thresholds can be reached. In Aveyron, temperatures will rise to 39°C during the heat peak on Friday and Saturday.
Under this blazing sun, finding a little freshness will not hurt. We list the bathing places in Aveyron.
