Less Air Conditioning
Air conditioning in France can sometimes feel like a mythical creature – you’ve heard rumors of its existence, but actually encountering it is a rarity. It’s not a common feature in French homes, so during the summer months, you’ll likely become well-acquainted with your trusty old friend, Mr. Fan.
While the absence of air conditioning might not be a significant issue in the northern regions of France, it can be quite challenging in the south, closer to the Mediterranean Sea, where the Parisian summers can become scorching hot. Picture the heat of a New York City July but without the comforting relief of air conditioning. In such situations, you’ll find yourself cherishing every small breeze that offers a hint of respite from the sweltering heat.
