what is the climate like in france?

Very similar to everywhere [really].  France is large [>500,000 sq. miles].  It has 3 different coast lines [Atlantic, Mediterranean, and English Channel].  It has the Alps and Pyrennes. The highest mountain in W. Europe is Mont Blanc.  The deepest gorge is in Verdon.  In July, the Normandy coast can demand a jacket and scarf on Monday and shorts on Tuesday.  The South easily reaches the 90's in Summer, while the Alps are close to the coast they keep their snow cover year round.  Rousillion is very dry and Brittany relatively wet.\n\nI'm afraid it's very much like asking what the the climate is like in the US or China, or any other large geographical region.

I don't think there is a way for you to quantify the quality of a country's climate. The worst climate for one person can be the best for another. It all depends on what kind of climate you want or what climate you've been used to. If you still don't know, ask some people who have been to various parts of the world. As for me, I like countries with tropical climates. They have the right amount of sun and rain, and they only have two seasons.

Try weather.com.\nThey will tell you the weather for the next 10 days.   It takes some finding but, if I remember rightly, there is a thing labelled world weather at the top of the screen.   Just remember you need to put Quimper, France into the bit where it asks you where you want to find the weather.   It is an american programme.\n\nIn case you have problems, the next 10 days are:\n\nJuly 18: sunny - temp high 26, low 20 - precip 10%\nJuly 19: sunny - temp high 27, low 21 - precip 10%\nJuly 20: sunny - temp high 27, low 21 - precip 10%\nJuly 21: sunny - temp high 27, low 20 - precip 10%\nJuly 22: sunny - temp high 27, low 20 - precip 10%\nJuly 23: sunny - temp high 27, low 20 - precip 10%\nJuly 24: sunny - temp high 27, low 19 - precip 10%\nJuly 25: sunny - temp high 26, low 19 - precip 20%\nJuly 26: sunny - temp high 26, low 19 - precip 20%\nJuly 27: sunny - temp high 25, low 19 - precip 10%\n\nFrom this website, I then got The Weather Channel  put on my computer - and then it is always there for wherever you want to find out the weather.   I use it every day to find out the temperature of where we are going in August, as well as being able to compare it with where I am now.\n\nHave a good holiday.

Paris has a milder climate because of the North Atlantic Drift.

The Mediterranean Sea moderates Greece´s climate, cooling the air in summer and providing warmth in the winter months. Summers are generally hot and dry. Winters are moderate and rainy in coastal regions and cold and snowy in mountainous areas.\n\nThey drew fresh water running down from the mountains and because of the water coming from the mountains the ground was fertile for growing.

several places to look for the information\nsee links below \n---------\ngive a man a fish and feed him a meal, teach a man to fish and feed him for life\ngoogle search string: [ weather Italy May ]\n\nItaly has a largely temperate climate with regional variations. In summer the Northern parts of Italy are warm with occasional rainfall, the central region is somewhat stifled by humidity and the south scorches under the dry heat. In winter, conditions in Milan, Turin and Venice are dominated by cold, damp and fog and Tuscany's winter temperatures approach freezing, while temperatures in the south of the country are more favourable averaging 50-60ºF (10-20ºC). Most people visit Italy between June and August, however the best time to visit is in Spring (April-May) and Autumn (September-October) when the weather is good and the tourists are few. The sea is warm enough for swimming between June and September. Most Italians take their vacation in August and many shops and restaurants are closed during this period. The ski season runs between December and April and the best time to walk in the Alps is between June and September.

It's pretty warm where I am compared to Oregon. I'm on vacation and I live in Oregon which was pretty rainy and not that warm when I left. I know what you mean about CA. My family drove down there to the airport and it was SWEATING.

Patience. The French have a very relaxed relationship with time.

montreal canada, its the best compromise you can have.  In winter you can go ski and its not very far away, in summer we have a lot of festivals (jazz fest, just for laugh (comedy show)...)  we have a lot of trendy store.  It not a super big city like new york but it not a small village. the temperature is not too cold not too hot (-5 to 10 F with wind it can be lower a bit in winter and around 100 F in summer)

If I lived in France I would.... live in France.  Why?  'Cause the question says so.... duh.\n\nSeriously though... I would live in the country somewhere around the vineyards.  Some place where life is slower than the fast city pace and the simple things matter.  Plus, there would be loads of French wine to enjoy it with.

In geography, temperate latitudes of the globe lie between the tropics and the polar circles. The changes in these regions between summer and winter are generally subtle, warm or cool, rather than extreme, burning hot or freezing cold. However, a temperate climate can have very unpredictable weather. One day it may be sunny, the next it may be raining, and after that it may be cloudy. These erratic weather patterns occur in summer as well as winter.\n\nThe north temperate zone extends from the Tropic of Cancer at about 23.5 degrees north latitude to the Arctic Circle at about 66.5 degrees north latitude. The south temperate zone extends from the Tropic of Capricorn at about 23.5 degrees south latitude to the Antarctic Circle at about 66.5 degrees south latitude.\n\nWithin these borders there are many individual climate types, which are generally grouped into two categories: continental and maritime.\n\nThe maritime climate is clearly affected by the oceans, which help to sustain somewhat stable temperatures throughout the year. In the temperate zones, the prevailing winds are to the west, the western edge of temperate continents most commonly experience this maritime climate. Such regions include Western Europe, especially the UK, and western North America at latitudes between 40° and 60° north (65°N in Europe).\n\nThe continental climate is usually situated inland, with warmer summers and colder winters. The large land mass increases its effects on heat reception and loss. In North America, the Rocky Mountains act as a climate barrier to the maritime air blowing from the west, creating a continental climate to the east. In Europe, the maritime climate is able to stabilize temperatures further inland, because the major mountain range - the Alps - is oriented east-west.
