May is associated with mild temperatures and pleasant days in France. While you can still expect a few scattered spring showers, if planned well, it is relatively easy to stay dry in France in May.<\/p>\n

With that said, you can also expect nighttime to be considerably chilly. In fact, even in May, many may find the sea and ocean waters too cold for a dip. In Paris, the temperature varies between 14-degree celsius and 20-degree celsius. While South France has somewhat the same kind of weather, things are a bit on the chilly side of the spectrum in the North Eastern region of France.<\/p>\n

Unlike the temperature, the chances of rainfall vary dramatically among different cities in France. Cities like Paris receive the maximum amount of rainfall while cities on the Southern coast, like Nice, receive little to no rainfall.<\/p>\n

While this may mean that you can\u2019t enjoy a beach break during your trip to France, there are still plenty of things to see and do that make the country worth visiting in May.<\/p>\n
