French village relies on caves for relief
The article discusses the use of cave houses built inside rock in the village of Trôo, France, to withstand heatwaves. Naturally formed limestone provides an interior coolness of up to 19°C, despite external temperatures rising above 30°C. Residents live in homes carved into the rock or rooms within excavated tunnels. These dwellings are environmentally friendly and offer natural insulation. Some of them have been renovated to become livable homes, viewed as a future model for addressing climate change.
