How To Keep Cool In Paris
Summer in Paris is an invitation to slow down, embrace the rhythm of the season, and experience the city at its most vibrant, atmospheric, and effortlessly charming! As the days grow longer and warmer, locals and visitors alike gather in parks, gardens, and on café terraces to make the most of the sunshine.
During a heatwave, known in France as 'une canicule', temperatures can rise quickly. With air conditioning still relatively uncommon, Parisians adapt by embracing a slower pace, seeking out shaded streets, leafy gardens, cooling fountains, and other refreshing corners of the city. It's all part of experiencing Paris like a local -taking time to pause, stay cool, and enjoy the city's unique summer atmosphere!
