Winter Weather in France

Chillier temperatures are one of the reasons you find fewer tourists in France during the winter months. While the south of France and Cote d’Azur tend to be more mild, the cold winter winds called the Mistral can even make these sunnier regions on the frigid side.

Paris tends to be damp and cold in the winter, and while snow will fall occasionally, you’ll usually see temperatures hovering above 0 degrees C, or in the 40s F.

Of course, you’ll also find snowy, cold conditions in the mountains, where skiing in popular.

If you pack accordingly and bundle up, however, the weather in France in the winter isn’t inhospitable. Read more about what to wear in France in the winter.
