There is another aspect to having air conditioning in Paris that most people don't mention, namely: keeping the noise out by shutting the windows.
We get a room with air conditioning. That way, we can shut out much of the noise from the street because the windows are double paned.
Paris can be warm and humid that time of year. Rain is frequent, and the buildings are heat traps.
The days are long enough that solar radiation warms the concrete and masonry and the heat dissapates slowly over time.
We were in a hotel room where the rain was coming in the windows. We of course had to shut them, or have a wet bed.
The temperature was not that bad in terms of raw figures - 80 F about - but after factoring in the high humidity and no air movement, the room was most uncomfortable similar to the description above.
Next trip, we had air conditioned quarters.
