And you'll never experience better rose wine. Order socca, fried anchovies, baked Provencal vegetables, pizzas, and Pissaladerie, then sit down at the picnic tables where waiters will take your drink orders. Climate and Terrain Nice enjoys a temperate climate which makes any time of year a pleasant visiting experience. Winter can get a bit chilly, especially in the back country where snow is not uncommon. A trip to Isolda 2000 ski resort may be in order at this time of year.
Spring is warm, bringing short, violent showers and lucious fields of wildflowers.
Summertime is hot and dry and the hills glow with the light purple of lavendar flowers and the dusky green of olive trees. Cicadas screech their mating call and heavily laden bees tend hives bursting with sweet lavendar honey. I'd argue that fall is the most perfect time to visit, when most of the tourists are gone, the locals are busy with mushrooming in the forests, harvesting the fields, and waiting for the first dusting of snow to decorate the not so distant Alps.
