In summary, heating in winter is part of the provisions for the French. This is what they use to help them with the cold. As for what they use to protect themselves from the harm of rain, it is umbrellas, called in Egypt "shamsiyyat," meaning sun protectors. These are called by the French "rain protectors." In the heat, women wear shamsiyyat, but men can never do so. The land of this city is vast, spacious, and fertile. How could it not be? There is no abundant house that does not have a large garden with trees, vegetables, and other things. Most strange plants are found in this town, as they take care to acclimatize plants like exotic animals in their countries. For example, date palms only grow in hot regions, yet the French have devised all sorts of tricks to plant some of them, even if they do not bear fruit. However, they refer to it when reading about botany. It is well-known among us that date palms are only found in Islamic countries. This is refuted by the discovery of non-transplanted date palms in America, as is apparent from our lands. Consider this in light of the statement of the esteemed Al-Qazwini in his book "Wonders of Creatures and Oddities of Existence," which states: "The date palm is a blessed tree. Among its wonders is that it only grows in Islamic lands." End quote. Perhaps the date palms found outside Islamic lands are a special type that botanists call date palms, while what is exclusive to Islamic lands is the date palm that produces dates. The climate of this region is suitable for it. The land of Paris is close to a cold mineral spring, and two rivers flow through it. The larger and more famous of these is called the River Seine, with a "seen" at the beginning. The other is the River Oise. Some European chemists have stated that the waters least mixed with foreign substances are the Nile of Egypt, the River Ganges in India, and the River Seine in Paris. This leads to considering their water in the art of medicine.
