Bordeaux climate
Bordeaux's oceanic climate is shifting Mediterranean: 40 °C peaks in summer, high humidity from the Garonne, and stone-built Pierre de Taille apartments trap heat. Portable AC is the fastest fix for tenants in listed buildings where drilling is forbidden.

What expats should know in Bordeaux
Listed stone buildings
Chartrons and Saint-Pierre are full of Pierre de Taille façades protected by Bâtiments de France. A fixed split unit is usually refused; a portable one is not.
Narrow streets, tight access
Our team delivers by small van in Saint-Michel and Saint-Pierre, and carries the unit upstairs — no lift required.
Humidity from the Garonne
Bordeaux nights stay muggy. Our units dehumidify as they cool, which matters more here than raw BTU power.
Student and short lets
Talence, Pessac and Mérignac rentals rarely allow drilling. Monthly rental fits academic and short-term leases.
Rent or buy in Bordeaux?
French summers are short but brutal. Buying a portable unit costs €300–€700 plus storage for nine months a year — a real problem in Bordeaux apartments with no cellar. Renting costs €19/day or €199/month, includes delivery, installation and pickup, and nothing stays in your flat after the heatwave. Buying wins only if you plan to use AC more than ~8 weeks every summer for several years.

- Weekly€79/weekBest for a heatwave episode or intense remote work week

FAQ — expats renting AC in Bordeaux
Can I rent without a French bank account?
Yes. International Visa, Mastercard and Amex accepted.
What areas do you cover?
Bordeaux Métropole (28 communes) plus Arcachon and Bassin d'Arcachon on request.
Is it OK for a Pierre de Taille listed building?
Yes. Our universal kit installs without drilling — no impact on the façade, no permission from Bâtiments de France required for a mobile unit.
How is it delivered?
Our team calls 30 min before delivery, installs in 10 minutes and shows you how to use it in English.
How much does it cost to rent AC in Bordeaux?
€19/day, €79/week or €199/month, all-inclusive: delivery, installation, universal window kit and pickup. No deposit and no minimum stay.
Do I need permission from my landlord?
No. A portable unit is not a fixed installation: nothing is drilled and nothing is attached to the façade, so no landlord or syndic approval is required.
How long can I keep the unit?
From one weekend to the whole summer. You can extend online at any time and cancel free of charge up to the day before delivery.
