BBC News published this video item, entitled “Intense European heatwave parches France’s ‘garden’ Loire Valley – BBC News” – below is their description.
The Loire Valley is known as “the Garden of France” – but the garden is withering in intensely hot weather.
France’s worst drought since records began has turned lush vegetation into arid fields of brown crops, shrivelling under what is now the fourth heatwave of the year.
There are warnings of a “disaster” if it doesn’t rain soon.
