What people love about France Tours in March
- Paris and Versailles
Everything was good. The hotel was what I expected for 3 stars. The only thing that went wrong was that my ride to the airport never showed up. I had to pay for and find other means to get there.
- Normandy, Brittany & The Loire Valley (Classic)
This was our first guided tour and we loved it. Shona was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and very funny! She kept us all entertained. The scenery and stops were very interesting. Alan, our driver, was very nice and very skilled! Always pleasant. We will be looking at Insight for future tours.
What our customers ask about France Tours in March 2026
What is the weather like in different regions of France during March?
March brings varied conditions across France. Paris temperatures hover between 8-12°C (46-54°F) with regular rain while the Mediterranean coast of Provence sees 15-18°C (59-64°F) and more sunshine. The Loire Valley offers mild spring conditions ideal for exploring castles. Normandy's coastal areas stay cool with occasional drizzle. Recent travelers on TourRadar report "Pack layers as mornings can be chilly but afternoons warm up nicely especially in Provence."
Which regions in France are best to visit in March?
Southern France stands out in March when spring arrives early in Provence and along the Riviera. Recent visitors note "Nice and Monaco were perfect in March with fewer crowds but still lovely weather for sightseeing." The Loire Valley comes alive as castle gardens start blooming particularly at Villandry. Northern sites like Omaha Beach and Mont Saint-Michel offer peaceful visits before peak season. Base yourself at properties like the Mercure Bordeaux Centre or Hotel Les Sables D'Ocre in Roussillon to explore these areas.
What unique events and festivals happen in France during March?
The calendar fills with distinctive events like Paris's Salon International de l'Agriculture and the Nice Carnival. Small-town celebrations shine in Normandy where visitors report "the charming spring atmosphere in Arromanches-les-Bains was magical." Bayeux's tapestry museum hosts special spring programs while Lyon and Bordeaux present wine events as vineyards wake up. Consider stays at the Hotel Tilsitt Etoile in Paris or Novotel Caen to access these festivities.
How affordable is traveling to France in March compared to peak season?
March prices run 20-30% below summer peaks. Luxury properties like Paris's 25Hours Hotel Terminus Nord often drop to $200-300 per night versus $400+ in summer. A recent guest noted "We saved nearly 40% on our March tour compared to July prices." Transport costs decrease and many sites offer low-season rates. Budget-friendly options include the Hotel ibis Paris Gare du Nord and Villa Bougainville by HappyCulture.
Which wine regions are best to visit in France during March?
Bordeaux and the Loire Valley welcome visitors as vines start their growth cycle. Bordeaux's Cité du Vin provides excellent tastings while Saint-Émilion's underground cellars maintain perfect conditions year-round. Loire Valley estates like Bouvet Ladubay offer protected cave tours during spring showers. Visitors note "The wine tastings in March were fantastic less crowded than peak season but still plenty of activity in the cellars."
Is March a good time for river cruises in France?
River cruise season begins in March with companies like AmaWaterways and Uniworld running Seine journeys through Normandy and Bordeaux routes. Water levels typically cooperate while spring landscapes start to show color. A recent cruiser shared "The March timing was perfect beautiful scenery with the first spring flowers and very comfortable temperatures for excursions."
