France is on high pollen alert for the next few days, with grass pollen allergies expected to be particularly severe throughout early June.
All departments are either on red (highest) or orange (second-highest) alert, with the southeast of the country especially affected, air quality network le Réseau National de Surveillance Aérobiologique (RNSA) said.
