Beyond the history, France has so much more to offer. Visit celebrated art galleries such as the Louvre to embrace the country’s love of art and history. France’s passion for fashion is showcased in haute couture boutiques and will enchant the most discerning shoppers. The famous French cuisine and world-renowned wines will delight taste buds, whether you’re in a sophisticated French bistro in Paris or a cosy cafe along the coast.
From the bustling boulevards of Paris to the serene lavender fields of Provence, France’s diverse culture will captivate you.
France is a big country so there is a lot of variety in the weather, which is also influenced by the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Along the Mediterranean coast you’re likely to experience hot, dry summers and mild but rainy winters. The Atlantic Ocean brings a maritime climate to western regions of France, so you’ll see mild winters and relatively cool summers with moderate rainfall.
Due to the variety of weather across the country, it’s a great year-round destination, depending on the type of holiday you’re looking for. Spring brings increasingly milder temperatures, but the weather is changeable, so bring layers!
Summers are hot and they get hotter the further south you go. Autumn retains some mild temperatures but as you get closer to winter, the temperatures drop and the chance of rain increases. Winter weather is varied depending on the geography. Coastal areas will see slightly milder winters, but northern regions will experience cold temperatures and snowfall.
To enjoy warm weather and avoid the crowds, the best time to visit France is in spring or autumn. However, if you prefer the heat and beach holidays, then summer is the season for you.
If you are looking for the thrill of winter sports, then winter is the perfect season to visit the French Alps or the Pyrenees.
What to eat
French gastronomy is world-renowned for its sophistication and rich flavours. Tantalise your taste buds with everything from delicate pastries and macarons to hearty classics like coq au vin or boeuf bourguignon. Enjoy visiting the local bakery to order the freshest baguettes and pain au chocolat. Pair your meals with the exquisite wine that France has to offer and don’t forget to indulge in delectable cheeses, each with its own distinct character.
