Things to Know Before Visiting France

France is a very special country in terms of its culture, heritage, and history. The country has played a part in shaping the world with its works of literature, paintings, cinema, and philosophy.  Its history, iconic symbols, gastronomic tastes, and romanticism make France a destination for millions of tourists every year.

What is the weather like in France?

There are four types of climate in France, depending on the region. Western regions have an oceanic climate, where summers are cool, and winters are mild. In the north and northeast regions, there is continental climate, where the weather in summer is quite hot and the winters are cold. In the south, a Mediterranean climate dominates, while an Alpine climate is present in the mountainous regions.

When to Visit France?

The coastal regions of France, dominated by a Mediterranean climate, are especially nice to visit in the summer. In the Alps and Pyrenees Mountains, you can enjoy seeing snow in the winter.

However, if your aim is to enjoy the beauty of France, trace back history, and wander through stunning towns, the best times to visit are from May to October. Or, if you want to taste the famous wine of France and participate in the grape harvests, you should visit in September-October.
