Question 4

When is the best time to book your stay on the French Riviera?

Accepted Answer

When vacationing in the South of France during the high season (the second half of May, July, and August), I recommend booking your accommodation one year to six months in advance. Even more so for villa rentals, since the best accommodations tend to be rented by recurring guests.

If you travel during shoulder season, then I recommend booking your accommodation three months before your arrival.

For low-season getaways, you don’t need to book that far in advance (except for the winter holidays, of course).
