A floating piano show held on a lake resumes in Ricquebourg, France.

The French troupe "Piano du Lac" washit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic this year.

They cancelled two shows earlier this year due to the virus and didn't know when they would perform again.

In May, France extended income benefits to support artists and technicians as many of them lost their jobs since the country lockdown.

French President Emmanuel Macron said he hopes the government extends unemployment insurance payments from the end of August.

France reported more 1,130 new COVID-19 cases since July 24 and death toll climbed to more than 30,195.
