"The heat is rising, it's unpleasant"
"It's painful, I can't breathe," could be heard Tuesday morning in the aisles of the Saint-Charles market in the 15th arrondissement of Paris. "When you breathe through your mouth or your nose, the heat rises, it's unpleasant! I wanted to take off the mask, but I'm afraid, with my age," says Monique. "There is mist on the glasses, it itches, the elastic hurts the ears, but we have to keep it for safety," says Alain, a trader.
