Provence/Riviera:What clothes to bring in March?
We are heading to Nice and Arles on the 10th of March. I am planning on bringing pants, sweaters, and, of course, a raincoat. Should I also bring shorts and summer clothes?

No! Consider this: Rome is on a parallel with NYC. Provence is considerably north of Rome. Of course, weather patterns are different in Europe, but basically you are in a rather cool, even cold, zone in Provence in March

I've been wondering the same thing! We will arrive Paris Mar.12 and go to Provence on the 15th. First trip to France and I want to be well dressed both practiclally and style.
I'm a youthful looking 51yr old artist.I'm thinking layers, good black pants, light sweaters and guess I have to go buy a raincoat! Shoes... now there's a question!
Am I going at an awful time where I'm just going to wish it was May for a week? Any advise appreciated!

We were there last March and had fabulous weather. It was sunny and in the 70s-I think also very unusual weather. I brought chinos, sweaters and light jackets. I had a raincoat with a zip out lining which was great for the rainy cool time we spent in Paris after Provence. We are returning this March arriving on the 16th and I am wondering how different the weather will be. Ah well the joys of travel!!
