That tagline is hilarious too.

Pardon my French, but FUCK YEAH AIR CONDITIONING

I finally had mine cleaned out properly, and it is GLORIOUS.

I hear that! Record breaking heat here as in a lot of places along the East Coast. I'm sure Canada is getting its fair share of it too and those air conditioners are a-runnin'!

Come to Quebec! See the sights! Eat great food! Get directions from a courteous cop! Enjoy the a/c!

...RIGHT THEN.

Of course, I went to Toronto (not in Quebec, I know), and I did indeed do all of those things. It must be a Canadian thing.

It has plenty of LGBT people.

What a weird ad? I never think of air conditioning and French cuisine in the same context. Air conditioning? So you travel to a remote location to go indoors? Something seems wrong.

It's called a hotel room after a long day of doing things outside. Most cities would frown on you setting up camp downtown, more so now after the Occupy movement.

In Quebec, electricity is cheap. In Europe when that was made, there just wasn't any air conditioning.

Wow! That makes so much sense. Thank you. Yes, I've been to enough non-air-conditioned Paris "hotels" in August.....

In addition to [livejournal.com profile] pseydtonne's comments, I think it was a deliberate contrast - the comforts/good stuff of the 'old', like French cuisine, and the comforts/good stuff on the 'new,' like eating your delicious French food in glorious a/c. An 'old fashioned but not outdated' kind of thing.
