Seasons change: from sunshine to snowfall
Summers in Occitanie are sunny, dry, and warm, particularly along the coast, where temperatures frequently climb into the 80s. Early fall is often humid with heavy rains. The region also gets hit with lots of rainfall in early spring, when the days are often cloudy and cool. The region heats up in late spring as the temperatures reach the 70s and the sunshine returns. Winter on the plains, valleys, and mountains is frequently chilly, as snow falls at higher elevations and temperatures hover near freezing.
Forests, fields, and… flamingos? Occitanie's wild landscape
Get lost in nature at the Cevennes National Park, a pristine setting dotted with sprawling pastures, dense forests, and towering mountains. Just south of the park is the area known as the Camargue, a unique landscape made up of marshes, lakes, and canals, where pink flamingos, wild horses, and bulls roam free. While the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Pyrenees dominate the scenery, the gentle, green rolling hills of the Cevennes mountains add a pop of color to Occitanie's setting.
