Best Time to Visit & Discounts

The Côte d'Azur shines from late spring to early autumn. The best time to visit is May, June, and September—when the weather is warm but the crowds are manageable. July and August are peak months, ideal for beachgoers but more expensive. Look for discounted rates in April and October, or even November for city breaks without the beach.
