Where to go in spring in France? Skiing, Sunshine and First Dips

Winter is fading, the days are getting longer… It’s the time of year when everything feels possible again. Spring is the season of renewal and offers a wonderful preview of summer holidays.

But where to go in spring? The options are endless: it’s the only season when you can ski in the Alps one day and have lunch on a sunny terrace the next. Whether you’re planning a spring holiday in France for the Easter break or a long weekend in May, SOWELL has you covered.

Heading South: Where to go in spring for sunshine?

After months of grey skies, you’re craving light—and that’s perfectly normal. At SOWELL, we’ve noticed that the search for spring sunshine breaks is very strong.

Provence and the French Riviera: A taste of summer holidays

South-East France is the first region to wake up. If you’re looking for where to go in spring for sunshine, the French Riviera and Provence already offer mild temperatures (often 18–20°C from April). It’s the perfect time to discover the calanques, browse Provence markets, or visit the Nice hinterland before the summer crowds arrive.

The Mountains in spring: End-of-season skiing or hiking?

The mountains in spring are a sure bet you can’t really get wrong. In fact, the mountains are full of activities and advantages in spring.

Where to go in spring in the Alps to ski?

In March and April, it’s the famous “spring skiing”. The days are long, the snow is softer, and you can often ski in a sweater under the sun. Our high-altitude residences (Vars, Isola 2000, La Plagne) are perfect for ending the ski season in style.

Green mountains: Breathe far from the city

From May onwards, the snow melts and gives way to flower-filled alpine meadows. It’s paradise for a spring trip in France with a nature vibe. Hiking, mountain biking, or simply relaxing facing the peaks: the mountains offer a true breath of fresh air.

Can you swim in spring? (The SOWELL tip)

Looking for where to go in spring to swim? Careful: the sea is still cool (around 14–16°C)!

Cool sea vs heated pools

Don’t ruin your spring break by shivering on the beach. The SOWELL solution? Our heated pools. Whether on the French Riviera or inland, most of our properties guarantee a pleasant swim—whatever the sea temperature. It’s the perfect compromise.

Who are you traveling with? (Family vs Couple)

Spring holidays with the family: Keeping kids busy

Spring holidays (Easter) are often the first big break of the year. For a spring trip with children, choose our Club residences. Entertainment programs start up again, outdoor areas are open, and apartments make it easy to manage the whole crew.

Where to go in spring with your boyfriend/girlfriend (as a couple)?

Fancy a romantic getaway? If you’re looking for where to go in spring with your partner, go for charm. A spring weekend in Normandy (Trouville) for seafood, or a couple’s escape to Provence to see poppy fields. It’s the season of love—make the most of it!

Spring on a budget: Travel outside school holidays

Spring is the best season for deal hunters.

Enjoy the low season for a small-budget stay

If you have the flexibility to travel outside school holidays (especially in May or June, excluding bank-holiday weekends), you’ll very easily find where to go in spring on a budget. Rates are often 30 to 50% cheaper than in summer. It’s the perfect chance to treat yourself to an upgrade—or to try our All Inclusive formula for a 100% relaxing spring trip with full budget control.

FAQ: Your questions about traveling in spring

Where to go in spring for warm weather in France?

Aim for the « bottom » of the map: the French Riviera (Nice, Saint-Raphaël) and Corsica are the areas where the temperature rises fastest. From May, it already feels like summer.

Where to go on a budget in spring?

Avoid the Easter school holiday weeks and the May bank-holiday weekends. By traveling midweek or in early April/late May, you’ll enjoy very attractive low-season rates, whether by the sea or in the mountains.

Can you still ski in spring?

Yes, until the end of the April holidays in high-altitude resorts (such as La Plagne, Les Arcs or Isola 2000). This is « spring skiing », highly appreciated for its sunshine.
