A Brief Summary
Most people head to the French Riveria in late spring and summer.. And it’s easy to see why, but if you want a little more space and are prepared to put up with a few showers every now and again, you could save yourself a bundle and come in late March when the weather will be a darn sight warmer and sunnier than at home. The hotels will also represent far better value and you’ll get a much more authentic experience of this corner of southern France. From the Italian border, through Monaco, Nice, Cannes, St Tropez and onto Marseille, there is a great deal to see and do in this beautiful part of the world. So go out of season, enjoy some warm spring sunshine and live a life of cafes and lazy days for a while until you return home

About the Weather
Nice’s weather, located in the more northerly reaches of the Mediterranean, is bright or sunny for most of the year, especially so from late May to early September, when skies are clear and rain is unusual and is indicative of the weather across the southeast of the country and the island of Corsica. Winter weather interchages days of clear, mild sunshine and colder, rainy weather, often accompanied by winds and choppy seas. Spring and Autumn are mild to warm and relatively sunny with occasional heavy showers. Temperatures range from 13°c in December to February, to 28°c in August. Extremes of cold or heat are uncommon and while the region can experience heatwaves in summer or snowy weather in winter, neither are particularly severe, nor last for more than a couple of days at a time. The months of October and November are by far the wettest, with July and August the driest.
