Paris is as hot as 42.6℃, but the French rarely install air conditioners! How do French people spend their summers?

The high temperature in Paris has set a new record this year: the French Meteorological Bureau gave 42.6°C! However, the French said: I don't install air conditioning, and it will snow in four months. China's three stoves can only admit defeat in the face of the French high temperature, not to mention the fact that Chinese people have air conditioning to continue their lives.

why are the French so stubborn that they would rather die of heat than install air conditioning? It is understood that only 6% of the houses in Paris have air conditioning, and most of them are hotels. As for the specific reasons, mainly the following three points. First, the geographical climate determines that it will be hot for about a week in previous years, so it is not cost-effective to use it for a short time; Second, most buildings in Paris have a history of more than 1 years. When they were built, they never thought about leaving a place for an unknown machine like air conditioning. Third, because it is expensive!

So, how did the French survive such a miserable summer? First of all, the government helped everyone think of a way-the French government warned not to go out easily, remember to drink plenty of water when going out, and even installed free water dispensers in major parks, as well as those with ice. In addition, the broad masses of the people have also come up with their own methods. For example, going swimming in the swimming pool and wearing long-sleeved trousers for sun protection when going out are all necessary skills for us to escape the summer. Of course, they choose to stay away from the city and go to the summer resort in the country to avoid the high temperature.

In fact, Paris is not like this at ordinary times, but the weather has been extreme recently. Therefore, environmental protection is still the top priority of each of our countries. It will only take a few days for people to get hot again. As soon as August comes, the temperature will plummet. Unlike our cities along the Yangtze River, we are always reluctant to leave in summer.
