Residents say the thick layers of surrounding rock maintain a stable indoor temperature throughout the year, reducing the need for air conditioning in summer and helping retain warmth in winter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">Dominique Op\u00e9ron, who lives in one of the homes, says temperatures inside remain around 20 degrees Celsius even when the outside temperature climbs above 35 degrees.<\/p>\n<div class=\"col-fullbleed mb-4 bg-marshmallow pb-5 dark:bg-ramones md:invisible md:mb-0 md:h-0 md:overflow-hidden md:pb-0\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-nowrap justify-center\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full items-center justify-center\" id=\"_R_66lr5ckluaiv5tmtbH1_\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\"><![CDATA[#_R_66lr5ckluaiv5tmtbH1_ { display: none; }\n@media screen and (max-width: 767.95px) {\n        #_R_66lr5ckluaiv5tmtbH1_ { display: flex; }\n        iframe { max-width: 100vw; }\n      }]]><\/style>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-body hidden dark:bg-ramones md:block\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-nowrap justify-center\">\n<div class=\"flex hidden w-full items-center justify-center\" id=\"_R_a6lr5ckluaiv5tmtbH1_\">\n<style type=\"text\/css\"><![CDATA[#_R_a6lr5ckluaiv5tmtbH1_ { display: none; }\n@media screen and (min-width: 768px) {\n        #_R_a6lr5ckluaiv5tmtbH1_ { display: flex; }\n        iframe { max-width: 100vw; }\n      }]]><\/style>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">Local tourism association chairman Jean-Luc Eclercy-Deterpigny describes cave living as &#8220;an incredible stroke of luck&#8221; in the era of climate change, noting that residents can rely on the natural cooling effect of the rock during increasingly frequent heatwaves.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">The village also features several kilometres of underground tunnels and a small number of permanently occupied cave homes.
