Best time to visit France and Spain
- Spring 2025
Spring brings out the vibrant energy of France and Spain's shared culture, with TourRadar customers drawn to tours that blend Paris's essential sights with Mediterranean coastal experiences. April and May departures help you avoid the peak crowds at major attractions like the Eiffel Tower and La Sagrada Familia, while temperatures stay mild and pleasant. Tours typically begin in Paris, where morning walks through historic quarters flow into Seine river cruises and visits to notable galleries. As groups move south, they discover Saint Paul de Vence's medieval streets and rich artistic past before crossing into Spain. The journey through Nice and Monaco combines coastal beauty with cultural depth, from local wine cellars to ancient hilltop towns glowing at sunset. Our tour director Giovanna weaves in stories and context at French cultural sites, while the schedule balances guided morning activities and afternoon exploration time. Wine lovers appreciate the spring visits to Bordeaux's estates, followed by authentic pintxo tastings in San Sebastian's historic center. For cyclists seeking active exploration, the Marseille to Barcelona path curves through Rhone delta wetlands where flamingos gather, and guide Weronika adapts the cycling pace along coastal routes and through small Catalonian towns.

- Summer 2025
Summer opens up all the best spots along our Mediterranean routes through France and Spain. Starting in Paris, you can take evening boat rides on the Seine and catch the sunset from Montmartre before heading south. The coastal section is particularly good - there are white villages to discover in Andalusia, evening walks on San Sebastian's main beach and local dinner spots in Valencia's old quarter. Our customers love the nighttime activities: Granada's Moorish quarter comes alive with flamenco shows, Barcelona's harbor front is perfect for sunset drinks and also Madrid's La Latina neighborhood is ideal for late-night tapas. When the coast gets hot, the Pyrenees section offers cooler mountain air with stops in medieval Andorra and Montserrat's hilltop monastery.

- Fall / Autumn 2025
Autumn tours through France and Spain have become quite popular during harvest season, when temperatures turn comfortable and crowds thin out. Our TourRadar customers particularly like the Three Countries route, which takes in wine harvests in Bordeaux, seasonal festivals in medieval towns and also traditional celebrations. The cultural experiences come alive in autumn - you'll join cooking workshops in San Sebastian when seafood hits its peak and navigate Barcelona's neighborhoods with more space to explore. Mixed-pace itineraries work wonderfully, combining walks along Carcassonne's ancient walls with intimate visits to wine cellars in Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Mediterranean sections get high marks from travelers who appreciate the milder temperatures for coastal walks, while mountain paths through Andorra and also Montserrat deliver crisp views across color-changing landscapes. Paris serves as an ideal starting point in autumn, with shorter lines at major attractions like the Eiffel Tower, and evening river cruises catch that perfect golden light unique to these months.

How Can I Plan a Trip Combining France and Spain?
You'll be happy to know combining these countries works really well! Most travelers spend about two weeks exploring both - plenty of time to experience Paris Barcelona and beyond. The transportation network makes it super easy to get around and you'll find high-speed trains connecting all the major spots. If you're looking for a comprehensive experience our Three Countries tour hits 22 amazing destinations including Paris Bordeaux Carcassonne and Barcelona.
What's the Best Way to Get Between France and Spain?
Train travel is definitely your best bet here. Both countries have fantastic rail networks and the high-speed trains - TGV in France and AVE in Spain - make getting around a breeze. For example you can hop on a high-speed train from Barcelona to Paris (included in our From Madrid to Paris tour) and you'll be there in just over 6 hours relaxing and enjoying the scenery the whole way.
How Can I Experience Local Food Culture?
There's so many ways to dive into the food scene! In Spain you can join a fantastic Tapas Tour through Seville's vibrant Barrio de Triana where you'll hop between traditional tabernas sampling all sorts of local specialties. If you're into cooking you'll love the Valencia Paella Experience where you'll learn to make authentic paella right in the heart of its birthplace.

Our France and Portugal Encounter tour even includes some cultural activities like tile painting in Porto.
How Does Transportation Work in Both Countries?
Getting around is really straightforward in both places. France has this great network of high-speed TGV trains connecting the major cities plus regional TER trains for exploring smaller towns.

What Are Some Must-Try Local Dishes and Where Should I Have Them?
You're in for some serious treats! In Spain you've got to try authentic paella in Valencia - it's completely different from what you might've had elsewhere. The Basque Country especially San Sebastian is famous for pintxos - these amazing little snacks served in local bars. In France don't miss the escargots in Paris (they're actually delicious!) prepared with garlic butter. When you're in Brittany the crêpes are incredible with all sorts of fillings. And if you've got a sweet tooth grab some colorful macarons in Paris - they're absolutely worth the hype.
