Things are changing in France as of AC: more and more poeple buy some AC appliance for their homes.
I think that it is because of the two really hot summers we had, including this year.
But yes, comparing to the USA, France is very very late & slow to adopt AC.
But for modified crops/food, there is a huge controversy in France. Some french activists (you perhaps know the name of José Bové) 'harvest'(ie: destroy) many experimental GE modified crops.
Some of the activists have jailed for that.
Their arguments is that the science does not know what the consequences of these GE modified culture will be so that, right now, the 'principle of precaution' leads to not produce/eat that kind of GE modiffied things and that the government should not allow experiments on that in the whole country.
