The best seasons to enjoy Aiguines

Choosing the right time to visit is crucial to making the most of your stay in Aiguines and the Gorges du Verdon.

Spring (April to June) offers a mild climate and nature in full renaissance. It's the ideal time of year for hikers and photographers, with lush green landscapes and pleasant temperatures. May and June are particularly recommended to avoid the summer rush and still enjoy sunny days.

Summer (July-August) is the peak tourist season, with warm temperatures perfect for swimming in Lac de Sainte-Croix. The lake's turquoise waters are at their most pleasant. This is also the period when all water sports activities are available. But be sure to book your accommodation well in advance.

Autumn (September-October) offers golden light and mild temperatures. The colors of the foliage turn to red and gold, creating spectacular panoramas. Tourist numbers drop, allowing you to enjoy the sites more serenely.

Winter is the quietest season, with few tourists and some establishments closed. The landscapes take on a wilder, more mysterious dimension. It's also a popular time of year for photographers, thanks to the special light conditions. Some activities, such as climbing, are still practicable thanks to the orientation of the cliffs, which benefit from the afternoon sun.

For an optimal experience, the months of May, June and September undoubtedly represent the best compromise between pleasant climate, available activities and reasonable tourist numbers.

Whether you come to admire the majestic Gorges du Verdon, swim in the crystal-clear waters of Lac de Sainte-Croix, or simply recharge your batteries in an authentic Provencal village, Aiguines is sure to charm you. With a wide range of accommodation to suit all budgets and traveller profiles, this jewel of the Var promises an unforgettable stay in the heart of exceptional natural surroundings.
