The problem

The current meteo_france component relies on web-scraping. The new one was merged and relies on clean api : #37737.
So I think the meteo_france will be fixed in the next home assistant update 😉

[davidusb-geek]

Ok, so until the new HA update the integration will remain broken?
For now there is something else preventing this to properly work with the web-scraping version.

[piitaya]

You can copy the meteo_france component folder (from this repo) into your custom_components folder (in your home assistant config folder) to use the new one before the home assistant update.
It did it and it works 🙂
