Go on a French vacation out of season
Who says summer vacations should only be in July or August. Your summer holiday can start before or extend beyond August. More and more travellers choose to visit in June and September avoiding the tourist crowds. These periods offer an exceptional quality of stay and many benefits, such as promotional offers with Pure France.
Let's discover the 5 good reasons to go on vacation off-season
An ideal and pleasant climate
The months of July and August are often very hot, but in June and September the sun is present but the temperatures are mild, without heat waves, with the freshness of the nights and mornings to refresh the interiors! It is the perfect time to enjoy a swimming pool, sunny days, a meal on the terrace or long walks without being too hot.
Fewer people, more calm
Villages, markets, beaches and roads are less busy. The experience is more serene, calmer and far from the mass tourism that is often found in July and August.
Lower prices
Outside high season, rental rates are more advantageous, with wider availability. You can access high-end houses at a reduced rate, and choose your dates in freedom as well as your holiday home destination in France.
Houses available
The most beautiful properties are booked months in advance in July and August. In June or September, you have more choice and the possibility to find your favorite without compromise.
A more authentic local immersion
Outside of the big holidays, the inhabitants are more available, the producers more accessible, the restaurants are more relaxed. You discover France in its true rhythm and it changes everything.
