For many tourists, the most favorable season to visit France is spring, which runs from April to June. Some however, prefer the autumn months, September to November, because of the smaller crowds, lower prices, and cooler temperatures.


Below are recommended places, other than Paris, that travelers should go to see in autumn:




Burgundy


During these months, this historical region in east-central France is a treat to the eyes and the taste buds. The sun causes the Burgundy vineyards to produce a warm, golden aura that makes visiting them more memorable. The area is also known for its delectable cuisine and good wine.


Nice


Nice welcomes more than four million tourists annually, making it one of the most visited cities in France. But because there are fewer people in autumn, and the weather is much more cool, soaking in the French culture can be done in relative peace. Nice is littered with several museums, galleries, and shops that tourists should definitely explore.


Strasbourg

Strasbourg is quite a busy city, especially since it is the official seat of the European Parliament, as well as other international organizations. Its ten districts are filled with historical structures and architecture, which when set in the autumn background, makes for a memorable visit.
