Climate - Weather
The south of France has
a warm Mediterranean climate with hot summers and
mild winters. Strong winds, known as la Mistral, can
occur in the Cote d'Azur, Provence and in the Rhone
valley particularly over the winter and spring.
Northern France, including Paris, has a temperate
climate similar to southern England with warm
summers, cold winters and rainfall throughout the
year. The western coast, from the Loire valley to
the Pyrenees, is milder and summer days are
generally very hot. During the second half of July
and August most French take their five-week vacation
to the coasts and mountains, and empty cities tend
to shut down accordingly.
France
Wherever you choose to begin or end a sojourn in Europe's largest
country, and however long you spend exploring you'll simply be
scratching the surface of this vast and varied land. France's geography
stretches from rugged coastline to seemingly infinite beaches, from
bustling cities to quaint countryside villages and from a sun-drenched
isle to luxury mountain ski resorts.
A
civilization dating back to 50,000 BC and a history spanning Roman and
Frankish invasion, wars of power and religion, a wealthy and powerful
monarchy ultimately crushed by revolution, the rise of Napoleon and a
new battle between monarchy and republic, and two world wars, has left
the country brimming with a rich heritage. Cave paintings, castles,
cathedrals and battle scars are scattered across the land, yet much of
the French countryside remains untouched, and traditional rural life
still flourishes.
This is a country that has inspired Monet's reinvention of colour,
Toulouse Lautrec's dark underbelly of Paris society, and the haunting
harmonies of Debussy. It has tantalized our taste buds with foie gras
and frogs' legs, and captured the imagination of the world's jet-set
with the resorts of St Tropez and Port Grimaud. Discover France, and
rediscover the meaning of joie de vivre.
