Your France travel agency

Visit between April and October for warm days, long evenings, and France at its best. Expect sunshine, outdoor dining that stretches late into the night, and that feeling of being somewhere you don’t want to leave.

Summer (June to August) is peak season, and for good reason. Lavender blooms across Provence, the Riviera’s beaches come alive, and evenings call for a glass of rosé on a sun-warmed terrace. These months fill up fast, so book early if summer’s the plan.

Spring and autumn (April, May, September and October) suit travellers after fewer crowds and gentler temperatures, ideal for wandering hill villages or Parisian streets without breaking a sweat. Autumn also brings the grape harvest across Provence’s vineyards.

We’ll take you well beyond the Eiffel Tower. As a tour agency in France, we cover Paris, Provence, the French Riviera, and more.

Stroll Paris’ Champs-Élysées and lose yourself in the Louvre, then head south to Provence for Roman ruins, lavender fields and honey-hued hilltop villages. Along the coast, the French Riviera brings glamorous Nice, Cannes and Monaco, all with the Mediterranean as your backdrop.

Fancy pairing France with a neighbour? Our France and Italy tours combine both countries into one seamless trip.

The best way to see France depends on how you like to travel.

Some of our tours include train travel, too. Like the high-speed route from Paris to Avignon, so you can mix rail with road on the same trip.

Summer is sunny and warm. In Paris, expect highs around 20–25°C (68–77°F). Head south and the temperature climbs. Provence and the Riviera regularly hit 25–30°C (77–86°F), with inland areas sometimes pushing higher. Pack light layers, drink plenty of water, and save the long walks for the evening.

Spring and autumn bring milder weather – perfect for long days of sightseeing. Paris sits around 12–18°C (54–64°F), while the south stays warmer at 15–25°C (59–77°F). Evenings cool off, so bring some warm layers.

Your France packing list depends on when you’re travelling and how you plan to spend your days. But here are a few things that earn their place in your suitcase.

Comfortable walking shoes are non-negotiable – cobblestones, old-town lanes, and vineyard paths will punish anything flimsy. If you’re visiting churches or cathedrals, bring a scarf or light wrap to cover your shoulders.

Swimwear is a must for the Riviera. And a little cash in euros goes a long way at markets, small cafés, and the occasional toll booth.

Your France packing essentials:

• Comfortable walking shoes
• Light, breathable clothing for warm days
• A warm jumper or jacket for cooler evenings
• Swimwear
• Sunglasses, sun hat and suncream
• Power adaptor (France uses the standard European two-pin plug)
• Small day bag for daily essentials
• Reusable water bottle
