Self catering cottage - gite in Foix, French Pyrenees

Mountain Gite in the French Pyrenees.

Our area has very distinct seasons.

Autumn begins in September with daytime temperatures in the 15°C to 25°C range. Whilst cooler in the evenings September/October are beautiful months with superb autumnal colours , clear air for lovely views and of course cheaper prices!

In winter,(November until March) one can expect snow at any time, often with crisp clear blue skies, and cold nights. In 2008 the January - March period was known localy as the `grand secheress` extremely dry, almost no rain at all, beautifully warm days, this year lots of snow!

Spring comes March/April with wonderful flowers, longer and warmer days.

Summers are traditionally hot, temperatures approaching 30°C/35°C in the valley, cooler up the mountain, with occasional exciting thunderstorms in August.

If you want an immediate assessment of the weather do contact us, we live in changing times - the winter of 2004/5 was the hardest in 30 years, the winter of 2007/8 one of the mildest, and this year (2010) one of the coldest.
