Traveller notes on Avignon in September
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.
