Weather and climate
Best time to
visit:
France has a warm climate with long hot
summers and cool winters, which bring snow to higher ground. Summer starts from
June to August, they call it the top
season, when it is warm and sunny across the country. If you’re planning to
visit at this time, prepare to face higher-than-usual requirements at major
sights, attractions and coastal choices, particularly along the French Riviera.
Southern France remains balmy throughout
spring which starts from March to May and for autumn it starts from September
to October, which are absolutely quieter times to visit. Prices are also much
cheaper. The crowds return during the winter season which starts from December
to March, packing out options for excellent conditions for skiing.
North-eastern areas have warm summers and
colder winters with rainfall spread throughout the year and snowfall likely in
winter. The Atlantic effects the climate of the western coastal areas from the
Loire to the Basque region. Summers here can be very hot and sunny – sunburn
may be a risk if you’re unprepared.
