Best end of summer holidays in September

Summer is coming to an end, the beaches are emptying, the roads are quieter, and the cicadas are still singing. If you're hesitant to book your off-season vacation, here are some good reasons to take the plunge and go away in September and make this month your new favorite date with the sun.

Mild and Bright Weather

In September, the sun shines generously across most regions of France. Temperatures are pleasant, less stifling than in midsummer, perfect for enjoying outdoor activities, walks, and meals on terraces.

Quieter and More Authentic Places

Far from the crowds of July and August, in September, beaches regain serenity, villages breathe, and tourist sites can be visited in peace and quiet. It's the ideal time to discover France in a different way, far from the summer hustle and bustle.

A More Local and Friendly Experience

France lives at its own pace; markets return to their regulars, restaurants catch their breath, and people take the time to connect. It's a perfect month to experience real local life, far from mass tourism.

The Harvest, a Magical Moment

If you're a wine lover, September is a prime time for the harvest and festivities centered around the vineyards, including tastings at the wineries. Whether you are in Dordogne, Bordeaux or Provence, the sight of the vineyards in full swing is worth the trip alone.

The Art of Extending Summer

Who said vacations had to end in August? Going away in September means treating yourself to a sunny break after the start of the school year, a moment just for yourself before diving back into the daily routine, to make the magic of summer last.
