Traveller notes on Avignon in November
Notes from nearby Marseille (86 km away)
Avignon doesn't have its own notes for November yet — these are about Marseille, close enough to share the season.
Marseille's forum calls November genuinely unpredictable — some marvelously mild days near 16°C mixed with brutal, rain-hammered ones, especially in the back half of the month. Regulars flag the Mistral wind as the deciding factor: when it blows, the day turns bright and sunny but noticeably colder, and hiking the calanques is fine as long as there's no rain or Mistral that day.
Other months in Avignon
Avignon's forum calls April through May the nicest stretch of the year for the south of France weather-wise, generally stable with warm, sunny days. Regulars flag the Mistral wind as the one genuine wildcard — impossible to predict in advance and capable of turning a warm day cool and blustery — so layers plus an umbrella cover most of what May can throw at you.
