Claude Papin auditions for the remake of Lawrence of Arabia (Chaume)
I'm not sure whether yesterday afternoon temperatures of over 31C broke any records but certainly a number of producers said that this is the hottest late September they remember. Here are some scenes from yesterday.

My Friend Eric Montintin in the Loire has had a very good vintage this year. We look forward to tasting the 2011 Sancerre Blanc
