A lot of times, it rains or snows, and when the summer comes, the temperature hits certain highs that can be a little uncomfortable for tourists, especially that summer is also the busiest and most crowded time for the country. The good news is that there is this little window of time when the weather in France is just perfect. September is a month when the summer's over and autumn's just settling in, and this makes for a totally great environment that everyone would love to be in.

Tourist Attractions Are Less Crowded

With the departure of summer, many tourists are out of their vacation mode and back to their day jobs. This leaves France more open for visitors. So take this opportunity to explore the places in France that are otherwise hard to get in during peak seasons. Aside from Paris, there are other cultural centers to explore in this country. Try the Avignon commune in southeastern France, where you can find important monuments, such as the Papal Palace, where some papal conclaves were held. Avignon hotels are just around the corner should you decide to call this commune your home while you are in France. In any hotel Avignon, you can be assured that you are close to a landmark you wish to visit.

To experience French culture, you might want to extend your Avignon trip to the nearby commune of Orange. You wouldn't need to check in at a different hotel orange recommended by guides, as the two places are just 13 miles from each other. In Orange, you should definitely visit the Théâtre antique d'Orange (Ancient Theatre of Orange) where opera remains a very active art form.

The Outdoors is the Best

During September, harvest is under way in France. So get on your boots and hats and drop by a nearby vineyard. While you're in southeastern France, it is highly recommended that you go to Bordeaux, the world capital of wine. Take part in the harvest, taste fresh grapes, and be in countless wine tastings in the area. It's a fun activity and the wine is always good. If you're up for more challenging activities, though, you should definitely go trekking or mountain climbing if you can. There are several great heights in France like the Mont Blanc, which is located in the Alps. Other simpler activities that are famous in France are river canoeing, horseback riding, and fishing.
