When to go Picardy ?
If the weather is not good all year round, good humour and conviviality are always present. The most famous highlights are the Lille braderie, the Dunkirk carnival and the Art et Jardin festival in Amiens. From carnivals at the beginning of the year to marathons and cultural or musical festivals to Christmas markets, everyone can find the perfect time to have fun. All you have to do is make your choice!
The Hauts-de-France are subject to an oceanic climate that is affected by altitude, the orientation of the slopes, the plain areas and above all the distance from the coast. On the coasts, the oceanic character is very marked: low temperature ranges, mild winters, cool summers. The influence of wind direction, frequent and sometimes violent, is sensitive. Away from the coast, there is less wind, greater temperature differences between the high and low seasons and more days of frost and snow.
