赤日炎炎似火烧，
塞纳河里洗个澡。
屁民心内如汤煮，
总统高官有空调。
法国爱丽舍宫高级官员办公区包括总统办公室一直配备有制冷系统。 建于18世纪的爱丽舍宫传统空调过去一直被大量使用。
Key offices in the Élysée Palace do have cooling systems. The palace historically relied on retrofit air‑conditioning, and recent reporting shows that it is now shifting toward geothermal cooling, which is replacing much of the older AC infrastructure.
Concise takeaway
Concise takeawaySenior offices—including those of the President—have cooling, but the palace is increasingly cooled by a new geothermal system rather than traditional air‑conditioning.
This modernization is happening because the Élysée is a poorly insulated 18th‑century building where conventional AC was heavily used and inefficient.
What the sources show
What the sources show- The Élysée has long been considered a “thermal sieve”, overheating in summer and relying heavily on air‑conditioning in key offices. RFI
- Because the building is heritage‑listed, it cannot be insulated or double‑glazed, making cooling needs especially high. RFI
- To reduce reliance on traditional AC, the palace is installing a geothermal cooling and heating system, with boreholes drilled 64–65 meters deep to tap stable 15–16°C groundwater. onemedia.fr RFI
- This system is already being used to cool ceremonial offices and the President’s private apartment, replacing or supplementing older AC units. geothermalstories.org
- Officials have publicly highlighted the “pleasant temperature” now achieved thanks to geothermal cooling during receptions. onemedia.fr
Putting it together
Putting it togetherYour statement is directionally correct:
- Yes, key offices historically used retrofit air‑conditioning because the building lacked modern insulation.
- But, as of 2024–2025, the palace is transitioning to geothermal cooling, which is now a major part of the system serving the President’s offices.
So the most accurate phrasing today would be:
Key offices in the Élysée Palace—including those of the French President—are cooled through a mix of traditional air‑conditioning and a newly installed geothermal system that is gradually replacing older AC units.
