I must add that we felt a little odd and got stared at by the locals eating raclette at a big lunch on a very hot July day in Paris. And that raclette heater does give off a lot of heat.
To be truly appreciated, one should do raclette in a log lodge in the middle of the Swiss Alps during a snowstorm!

Even in September, and even in Switzerland (Altdorf, to be specific), I was a bit surprised by how many funny looks we got asking for fondue "out of season". Although we eventually did find a place (and it was really really good) - - it occurred to us that perhaps it was like walking in to random restaurants in our own home towns, and asking for <i>turkey and dressing</i> at the wrong time of year.
