## What is Au frais · Paris?

Au frais helps you quickly find where to cool down in Paris during hot weather.
The app brings together on a single clear map all the places that feel good when it's hot:
- Parks and cool islands
- Fountains and drinking water points
- Misting stations
- Swimming pools, bathing areas and public baths
- Air-conditioned places: libraries, museums, town halls, shops…
FEATURES
- Clear filters ("Layers") to show only what interests you, with your preferences saved.
- Address search anywhere in the Paris region (Île-de-France), and sorting of places from nearest to farthest when you share your location.
- One-tap directions to your chosen place, opened in your favourite navigation app.
- Report AC: spotted an air-conditioned shop? Flag it in one tap. The contribution is sent anonymously to OpenStreetMap, for everyone's benefit.
PRIVACY
- No account
- No ads
- No tracking
Essential data is bundled into the app and works offline. Only the "online" layers (shops, weather, map background) require a connection.
OPEN DATA
- OpenStreetMap & contributors
- City of Paris (Paris Open Data)
- Eau de Paris
- Base Adresse Nationale (data.gouv.fr)
- Open-Meteo
Au frais is in its early days and focuses on Paris for now. Your feedback is welcome.

Corrections et optimisations de l'application.

### 0.9.1 — 2026-07-06

New: a shadow layer shows where buildings block the sun, so you can find cool, shaded spots.

### 0.8.0 — 2026-06-28

Air-conditioning reports are now sent straight to OpenStreetMap, so your contributions improve the map for everyone right away. When a direct edit isn't possible, the app falls back to a public note, as before.

Optional anonymous statistics (off by default, opt in from the intro or Settings) — no personal data. • New "Cooled metro lines" sheet: which lines have refrigerated ventilation, from the Layers menu.

### 0.5.1 — 2026-06-25

• A fresh, clearer and more reliable map.
• Tap any place on the map to see if it's air-conditioned — and report it to help everyone stay cool.
• Your AC reports now always show, and every place displays its address.
• Smoother, more stable, focused on Paris.
Stay fresh!
