Frequently
Asked Questions
When is the best time to visit the French Riviera?
May, June, September, and October are widely regarded as the optimal months to explore the French Riviera, offering a harmonious blend of moderate crowds and pleasant weather conditions. Conversely, July and August are often considered the least favourable months due to the influx of European tourists embarking on their annual vacations, leading to overcrowded roads, restaurants, and beaches. Despite this, the French Riviera enjoys a consistently mild climate throughout the year, boasting approximately 300 days of sunshine annually. Temperatures frequently exceed 30°C (86°F) in July and August, while June, September, and October typically maintain a comfortable range around 20°C (68°F).
What sights can I explore during my cruise ship visit in July?
The most popular ports of call on the French Riviera are Cannes and Villefranche-sur-Mer. Cruise ships anchor off the coast and tender their passengers in to the port's terminal. Depending on the type of tour you select, you will be able to visit at least two towns on the French Riviera plus have time to eat and do a little shopping prior to returning to the port before tendering out to the cruise liner.
Can I use my American credit cards in France?
Credit cards from major card companies like VISA and Mastercard are widely accepted throughout France. American Express is not commonly accepted except in certain establishments, restaurants, and shops that cater to high-end tourists. However, it's important to remember that acceptance may vary depending on the individual business. When making payments, some merchants may have a spending minimum — 10 euros, for example. However, if you’re making a contactless payment, you can get away with purchases of just a couple of euros using your card. Cash remains the norm for shopping in outdoor food markets and flea markets, so it's advisable to have euros on hand for these occasions.
