Traveller notes on Aix-en-Provence in March
Other months in Aix-en-Provence
Aix-en-Provence's forum calls April-May the nicest stretch of the year for Provence, with late-May days typically 24-28°C and cool enough evenings for a light jacket. Regulars are honest that May can still run cool or bring rain some years, so packing waterproofs alongside summer layers is standard advice — the payoff is far smaller crowds than high summer.
