I read it through HN a few weeks ago, a Wall Street Journal article mentioned it. Maybe the WSJ made it up to make France seem stupid.

- seszett 1y agoMaybe it's also a language problem as "choc thermique" is technically "thermal shock", but the French "choc" doesn't have the medical undertones of English "shock". It just means that you go from hot to cold or the contrary. Anyway it's not common to think that entering a place with AC is actually dangerous.
