Is it necessary? That depends on your own %26#39;..comfort levels..%26#39;. Is it advisable? You bet !! It gets HOT in Paris in high summer and extended heat waves (temps in the 80s-90s) lasting several days are not uncommon.

I live here and I don%26#39;t have air conditioning and we seem to do well with just a fan. But we live on a quiet street, which allows us to keep our windows open... so it will also depend on the location of your hotel.

I would not ever consider booking a hotel without A/C in July-Aug. But then I%26#39;m from Chicago and I don%26#39;t handle high temps (above 80) very well.

Never been to Paris during summertime but I hear it%26#39;s awful unless you like hot and sweltering. I would definitely choose a hotel with a/c. Think of it this way: you don%26#39;t have to use the a/c but at least it%26#39;s available should you want to do so.

I read too many warnings about Paris when it%26#39;s hot. Just to give you an idea my room in wintertime was very warm because of the heater. I turned off the heater yet it was still warm and I ended up opening the window. I can%26#39;t imagine if I was in that same room during a heatwave.

It depends on where you live, the summers here in Central California gets into the low one hundreds. 80%26#39;s -90%26#39;s are a piece of cake to me. It really depends on what you can and can%26#39;t handle.
