Travel Guide

In France there are four types of weather. In the west, near the coast, it prevails the tempered marine, of which Brest it's an example of smooth winters, fresh summers and many rains. In the inland, the weather is of continental type, with hot summers and more rigorous winters with few rains.

Mountain weather prevails in the high elevations with cold and long winters. The precipitation increases with the elevation and takes snow form in winter; many villages in the high valleys have more than 50 days of snow every year. In the south coast, the weather is Mediterranean, characterized by hot and dry summers, smooth and humid winters and a small number of rainy days during the year.
