  • WEATHER 
    The climate is characterized by exceptional sunshine and dry summers: in all seasons, sunglasses and sunscreen are essential! The French Riviera has a microclimate due to its proximity to the sea and the mountains. Thus, it is an ideal hiking region that can be discovered in all seasons. In the hinterland and the Mercantour, the climate is a little less temperate but just as sunny.
    - Spring : In the hinterland and in the Mercantour mountains, the paths may still be snow-covered until Easter. On the coast, it is a festival of colors and scents: a real paradise for hikers!
    - Summer : The region has an exceptional microclimate. With a sea breeze on the coast, and a cooler temperature in altitude. - Autumn : A very pleasant season with a mild climate and beautiful sunny days. The sea is still warm. In the back country, you find the the deep Autumn colours
    - Winter : It contrasts by the mildness of its temperatures. A different atmosphere with a climate always very mild. The mountain hinterland is under the snow.

  • ELECTRICITY
    . France is on a 220 Volt system
    . We recommend checking if you require an adaptor for your electrical items HERE 

  • MOBILE PHONE & INTERNET
    . Contact your operator before leaving and check if you will be able to use your mobile phone abroad. 
    . A good option is to buy a “country Sim card” in a phone shop. It will cost you around 10€ / 15€ and will allow you to call local phone numbers with internet access

  • MONEY MATTERS & CLOSING HOURS 
    . The currency is the €uro. Make sure to have some cash with you as there aren’t always ATM machines in small villages.
    . Tips are always included (different than in Canada and USA) but always appreciated..
