As you may recall several years ago, more than 30,000 elderly people died in France during a heatwave, as many were left home along while their children who they lived with went on holiday without them. So few in France at that time had air conditioning and people were really not prepared for the heat. Now, there are minisplits everywhere (D's business) and people are more conscious about how to care for the elderly. That said, I've been wondering about nursing homes and other elder care issues in France. So, here is a good article:

The most interesting thing is the requirement that a child is legally responsible for the parent's care.
