• Best Time for Sightseeing

The best time to visit France is usually in May and September, where you will have a good chance of enjoying mild weather and avoid the biggest crowd that happens between June and August. Keep in mind that Paris most likely will still be very busy as it is a year-round tourist destination, so most likely, you are going to find long lines for the main attractions. Another good time to go sightseeing in France maybe early March or during late October, with a fewer crowd, but you will probably have to dress warmly.

• Best Time For Beaches

If you want to enjoy swimming at the beaches in the South of France, then you should know that sea temperatures are typically only warm enough in June to September, and these periods bring the biggest crowds. The best time may be mid-September, which usually brings about sunshine and warm temperatures, including warm water, as well as fewer crowds. You can typically enjoy pleasant strolls along the beach from April to October.
