I learned a little too late that most buildings in France don't have air conditioning. After I selected my hotel from a list provided by the Paris 2024 organizers, one of my colleagues found other nearby accommodations that were more modern, cost less, and did have air conditioning - but we had already committed and paid for everything.
During my time in Paris, the temperature got as hot as 97 degrees Fahrenheit. But even in 70 and 80 degree-weather, I experienced unbearable heat in my hotel room.
I came across a funny Tweet that asked, 'What did Paris do with all the rats?' I'm convinced they put them all under a bridge in Montmartre.
These rats did not run away. Instead, they were so accustomed to the presence of humans that they simply continued about their business, which certainly added a layer of discomfort to the trip.
