Temperatures of up to 36 degrees Celsius were reported in the French capital during day four of the Paris Olympics.
At the Eiffel Tower Stadium, electric fans were seen being carried into the venue to help spectators cool down.
The stadium hosts the beach volleyball event, which takes place outside with the Eiffel Tower as its backdrop.
Tennis spectators were helped with their battle to stay cool by water mist sprays at Roland-Garros and the heat rule was in place for players, which permits a 10-minute break before a deciding set in singles games.
Britain’s Jack Draper was one of those in action, but lost to Taylor Fritz in the second round, as he wilted in the heat after a good start.
