Surviving a suffocating French Heatwave. #heatwave #canicule #france

The latest French heatwave has been relentless, and when temperatures climb into the high 30s or beyond, you have to work with the weather rather than fight it. In this video, I share the simple routines that helps us stay comfortable without totally relying on air conditioning: getting up early to let the cool morning air through the house, closing the windows and shutters before the heat arrives, keeping the cooler air trapped inside, and avoiding unnecessary trips out during the hottest part of the day. They're not glamorous tips, but they make a real difference when you're trying to survive a long, suffocating spell of summer heat in rural France.
