What is the in season for Nice and the surrounding area?

When is the place flooded with people, when is it empty and everything closed? I%26#39;m thinking of potentially going around late may, early june, and visiting Nice, provence, and monaco. I would like it not to be empty and everything closed, and not very full, something in between.





Also, random question when does school finish in nice? Would it be crowded with teenagers in the may/june time?

The main season is mid-July to end-August. Late May early June is an excellent time to visit. We always used to come here for our holidays then, because it lies outside most school holidays and yet is good weather.

%26quot;Also, random question when does school finish in nice? %26quot;





On July 2, like everywhere else in France.

perhaps we can ask the city to make sure that there is an average as opposed to an extreme occupation when you arrive!





seriously it is an excellent time to visit with normally good weather and not as busy as July/ August





the City by the sea --don%26#39;t miss it

Nice is crowded with teenagers from around Friday afternoon until Saturday night, just about all year round. Whether that is a positive or a negative is for you to decide.





Its a living working city and so it never stops. Yesterday the %26quot;bargain-weekend-break%26quot; hunters were out in force, the Promenade was heaving with Brits, Germans, strangely, few Italians, but many French.





Its really at its best outside school holidays when the cars and families pour in from the rest of France and temperatures rise to the uncomfortable 30%26#39;s, the humidity is stiffling, and the sea is ful of jellyfish.

The Italians are all in Monaco.




|||



There are many French at the moment NiceLife because the %26#39;Toussaint%26#39; holidays started on Oct 23rd...





The other day I heard on the radio that as a result of the crisis, French people took shorter but more frequent trips within the country this year.

Crisis? What crisis?
