France experiences coldest April night since 1947 of -9C

 The French weather forecaster Météo France recorded temperatures of -9C
on Sunday night, the coldest April night on record since 1947.

Overnight frosts were seen across almost all of the France, with the exception
of the Paris area and the northern and Mediterranean coasts, with the coldest
temperatures recorded in the Champagne area.

While Champagne went down to -9C parts of the south west also recorded
temperatures of -5C, leaving wine producers very worried about frost damage to
their vines.
