Summary
Paris is cracking down on public drinking during its biggest street party night, the Fête de la Musique, as a heatwave threatens to turn the city into a sauna. Authorities are banning stronger alcohol and takeaway sales in popular spots like Canal Saint-Martin to prevent dehydration, heatstroke, and public disorder. With temperatures nearing 40°C and emergency services overwhelmed, the move is part of a broader strategy to protect citizens and ease pressure on hospitals and firefighters. It’s a tough call — but safety over celebration. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
