All Months
May and September hit the sweet spot — warm enough for café terraces but cool enough to walk cobblestones without melting. The light turns golden in September, perfect for channeling your inner Cézanne. June brings lavender season and the Festival d'Aix opera, but also crowds and €200 hotel rooms. April can surprise you with rain, but when the sun breaks through, the whole city seems to exhale. October offers harvest season and fewer tourists, though some restaurants close for vacation. Skip July and August unless you enjoy sweating through medieval streets with half of northern Europe. Winter? The city goes quiet, museums have shorter hours, but you'll have Place des Quatre Dauphins to yourself.
