France: Experiences of our Visitors
We were 8 days in mid-September near Toulon/Marseille. It was bathing weather and wonderful sunshine every day. Once it rained at night…
Weather Rating: 5 stars – Excellent
14-day dream weather in the Camargue region, perfect in June – not too hot and not overcrowded
Weather Rating: 5 stars – Excellent
It was nice warm and dry, the nights were mild, there was a light pleasant wind – perfect!
Weather Rating: 5 stars – Excellent
We spent four days in Paris at the end of October/beginning of November. The weather was very pleasant for the season, the temperatures during the day around 15 degrees and often sunny. It was perfect sightseeing weather, but certainly also a coincidence/lucky thing.

Weather Rating: 5 stars – Excellent
during the day was very pleasant up to 30 degrees, at night well cooled to 16 / 18 degrees (in Haute-Provence)
