It seems the highly-promoted phenomena of climate change hasn’t fully arrived just yet, at least to the area south of Paris (and certainly not on the Whitsun weekend). While in Germany temperatures above 30 degrees centigrade drove people into the beer gardens, for our neighboring country of France there was no real noticeable change in the weather conditions. This was particularly so for visitors to the annual event at La Ferté-Alais who observed the varied weather conditions at the airfield reaching a maximum of only 18 degrees – and that was when the sun was shining. The current cry may be “All of Europe is entirely occupied by the hot weather. Well not entirely! One small village of indomitable Gauls still holds out against the climate changer“. So much for climate change and the weather!
