Awesome Things About France: Consistent Shower Temperature

Don't you hate it when you turn the shower on, then step in, only to have it burn or freeze your skin?  Or you take a long time to adjust the dial slightly, back and forth, until it is just the right temperature?

Back in 2005 when we were traveling in Austria, our hotel had an amazing shower feature.  You set the temperature on one side of the dial, then turn the water dial on the other side.  The water comes out at the predetermined temperature.  I thought that the technology behind this was instant hot water heaters.  However, the technology is much more simple.  There is a thermostat in the shower fixture.

Viola!

38 degrees Celsius is nice

Perfectly heated water, immediately!
