The perfect time to visit France is during the summer months from June to August.

For outdoor activity, you'll want to aim between mid-June and mid-September when France experiences the least rain and benefits from clear skies and warm temperatures. This peaks in the last week of July, before we begin to wind down into the French Autumn in mid-August.

Ski season in the French Alps is anytime between the start of December to the end of April, more depending on the snow conditions. These winter months can be extremely cold, so make sure you bring a coat and beret — especially for exploring the capital city of Paris. Parisian winter is all about the atmosphere, warm fireplaces, fine wines, and gastronomic journeys, so a trip to Paris for Christmas shouldn't be missed.

For the French Riviera and Nice, the beach season falls between mid-July and mid-August, when the temperatures are high on the coast.
