France is a very beautiful country worth visiting at any time of the year. The climate is moderate, although in the north and in the mountains it is several or a dozen or so degrees cooler than in the south. Overall, however, it is relatively friendly in all seasons. Although there are undoubtedly certain seasons that encourage you to visit specific regions and places. For example, in winter, it is worth going to the Alps to go skiing, and in summer to the Cote d’Azur to swim in the warm sea and sunbathe on the sandy beaches of the south. In spring, the most beautiful regions of Provence, where the lavender fields bloom, smell beautiful and look great.
