The climate is Mediterranean, with mild winters around 5 to 15 °C and hot summers, often ranging from 28 to 35 °C, and sometimes higher during heatwaves. The best times to visit generally span from April to June and from September to October, when temperatures remain very pleasant without reaching the summer peaks, allowing visitors to fully enjoy the cities, villages, and coastline under more comfortable conditions than in mid-summer. As a guideline, cities located south of Lyon, Clermont-Ferrand, or Limoges are considered part of the south, while the others belong to the central/northern regions, which roughly reflects the climatic differences.
No need to worry about where to begin! Our tours are designed as a loop, so you can jump in wherever you are. The navigation system and audio-guide will automatically adjust to your location. However, if you happen to be nearby, we do have a preferred starting point: Quincunx square, opposite the Girondins monument
