Popular Regions of France

Best time to visit France

In short, the best time to visit depends on the region you’ll be visiting.  The South of France is a real summer scorcher but as the Mediterranean climate comes alive, so do the crowds. From mid-June to August, the water is pleasantly warm, and temperatures reach highs of 30°C+. However, if you’re keen to discover the French Riviera off-season, go between April-early June or September-November. The festive season is also a wonderful time to visit – think Christmas morning in a French chateau. Check out our top winter holidays in France.

Northern France

Despite the unpredictability of northern France weather that is similar to the UK, you’ll still have stunning scenery in every direction when you choose one of our villas to rent in France! Visiting in the summer gives you the best chance of hot and dry weather, whilst autumn and winter are the best times to visit one of our France villas if you’re planning a sightseeing or active holiday.

Central and Eastern France

Temperatures in Central and Eastern France are more comfortable to judge thanks to its continental climate – meaning cold winters and hot summers of around 25°C. Ski aficionados will be delighted by the yearly powdering of snow from December to April and a thoroughly transformed landscape in summer which is lush and green and full of endless outdoor activities.

Southern France

South of France holidays are seriously attractive during the summer scorcher, but as the Mediterranean climate comes alive, so do the crowds. From mid-June to August, the water is pleasantly warm, and temperatures reach highs of 30°C, bringing plenty of visitors to this part of the country for their south of France villa holidays.

However, if you’re keen to discover the French Riviera off-season, go between April-early June and September-November. You’ll still enjoy mild and sunny weather, and you’ll benefit from an off-season atmosphere and better deals on our villas in the south of France.

Why choose a French villa?

At Oliver’s Travels, our love affair with France began during a post-university chateau holiday in Dordogne.

France is the most popular tourist destination in Europe- in fact, it’s the most popular destination in the world – and truth be told it’s not hard to see why.
