Spring

The most romantic time of the year in France is spring, with its delicate greenery, the first flowers and the timid awakening of nature. Rivers overflow their banks, chestnut trees bloom, cities and villages are buried in fragrance. The stone jungle of cities is illuminated here and there with touching trees, completely covered with a white and pink lace of flowers. Wedding corteges are moving along the streets, because spring for the French is the traditional wedding season.

In Brittany, gorse and gorse are blooming, the marshes and dry salt pans of Provence are filled with the hubbub of thousands of different species of birds, and the owners of a chateau in the south of France are busy trimming their vineyards. While the first flowers appear from under the snow in the Alps, the “King of the Five Continents” carnival with its famous flower battles is already starting in Nice.

Summer

Summer in France - peak tourist season when pleasant, cool weather sets in. It is especially good at this time of the year on the sea coast, where the air warms up above + 25`C, and it rains relatively infrequently. In the period June-August, it is very warm throughout the country. Cool weather persists only in part mountainous areas; summit of Mont Blanc all year round covered with snow.

A remarkable fact: in the height of January, the temperature in Paris can be the same as in Sevastopol, and the sky will turn out to be bright blue, like in Istanbul in summer.

    what winter, spring, summer, autumn?

spring Paris is changing: it turns green and comes to life, the days are not as short as in winter, you can sit in the park or on the embankment, or just walk around the city. Until the end of September you can witnessdancing in the open air , yes and walk along the Seine will be much nicer in the warm season. autumn On the other hand, there is no such abrupt change of weather as, for example, in Moscow. Paris is dressed in golden foliage for a long time before throwing on a gray winter coat.

Basically, winter in paris has nothing to do with the Russian winter, but despite the usually positive temperature, it is quite cold here due to the humidity.
I am always colder at +5 in Paris than at -3 in Moscow. But, as they say, there is no bad weather, but there is bad clothes, so dress warmly :) It snows very rarely in Paris, it rains more often. In general, the dominant color is grey.
