I have just checked a few hire companies on the web (something I had hoped to avoid by using you) and find:

Easycar; Corsa Diesel with A/C
Avis; WW Golf with A/C
National; Opel Astra with A/C.

I accept that the smallest cars might be difficult but surely we don't need to have as large a car as the Avensis in order to have A/C ? There will be just two of us plus one suitcase and a flight bag and we intend to use the narrow roads in the Ardennes so size is a disadvantage. The weather is unpredictable in Belgium during August but I have seen a middle-aged healthy man become ill due to the heat. We cannot risk our holiday being ruined by a heat wave.

I will give you one more chance to come up with something suitable.
