But is it ever legally too hot to work in France? "The heatwave is not, in itself, a reason for the country to stop working," Eric Rocheblave, a lawyer specialising in employment law, told Le Parisien. However several studies have shown that doing physical work at above 33C can prove dangerous to health if no precautions are taken. If no action is taken - despite warnings in advance from weather forecasters - and employees are suffering from the heat then employers are at fault. So if my boss isn't doing any of that I can walk out?
