Looking at a trip in the month of July. What are any of your experiences regarding the weather and potentially no a/c in the hotel?

If possible avoid staying in places without air conditioning in July or August.

AC would be an absolute must in July. We’ve been there twice in June. Both times it was hot (high 80s) and HUMID. We retreated to our lodging during the hottest part of the day for a break in the ac. It was blissful.

We made the mistake of visiting Paris in early August once. A mistake that wasn't repeated. Our hotel AC could barely keep the room tolerably warm, never mind keeping it cool. I'd rather eat glass than visit Paris in summer without AC

We were in France, June 2025, including Paris on June 24-28. Temperatures were in the 90s for most of the time we were there - miserable unless you are used to it. AC is an absolute must unless you are comfortable sleeping in a 90 degree room. Opening the windows is usually not an option because most windows lack screens.

Don't even think about booking a room without AC in Paris from June to September.

I'll concur. You need AC. It reached 39C on 1 July this year, my apartment got so warm inside that the fridge broke down. The rest of the month was cooler, but you don't want to gamble...
