No AC in France? Here’s Why

Discover the EasyFrance Navigator and get 10% off using my code JOHNNY10: easyfrancenow.com/navigator?via=johnny584 Why do so many French homes still not have air conditioning? Every summer, people visiting, renting, buying, or moving to France ask the same question: why is AC still not automatic here? The answer is not that France hates comfort. France developed a different way of dealing with summer: shutters, shade, thick walls, stone floors, night ventilation, trees, timing, and a deeply national ability to complain with precision. For a long time, that mostly worked. But heatwaves are becoming longer, hotter, and more frequent, and the old French comfort system is now under pressure. In this video, I explain why air conditioning is less common in France than many people expect, why French homes were historically built for winter rather than summer, why old stone houses are not always the miracle people imagine, and what you absolutely need to check before renting, buying, retiring, or moving here. Because France is still beautiful. France is still worth it. But April lies. July tells the truth.
