WEATHER
Provence is famous for its 360 days of sunshine per year ! The Provençal climate is characterized by the bright and ever-present sun, and dry summers. The winds and rains are sporadic.
You can hike all year round in the Gorges du Verdon. All the hikes are practicable in all seasons, as long as the paths are dry!
However, if you can organise your visit in spring or autumn, you'll enjoy the best hiking conditions.
- The best time to discover the Verdon is from mid-May to the end of June, and in September-October. The weather is very mild, and there are fewer people on the paths: hiking is much less popular than in summer.
ELECTRICITY
France is on a 220 Volt system
Check if you require an adaptor for your electrical items HERE
MOBILE PHONE & INTERNET
Please check that your mobile/cell plan allows for calls & messages 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. Please ensure 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.
Please note that many restaurants in France do not serve food all day
Many shops are closed on Sundays, supermarkets are usually open until midday
