  • WEATHER 
    Located at the foot of the Alps, the Italian lakes enjoy an exotic mild climate ideal for a lush natural environment. The climate is temperate: with hot summers, lots of sunshine. Winter-spring-fall which can be stormy. The climate of this region between plain and mountain is softened by the presence of lakes: you can therefore visit this region all year round !
    The most pleasant period is spring when nature explodes in the gardens, and autumn which covers the landscapes with warm colors: with very pleasant temperatures and beautiful colors.

  • ELECTRICITY
    . France is on a 230 Volt system
    . We recommend checking if you require an adaptor for your electrical items HERE 

  • MOBILE PHONE & INTERNET
    . Contact your operator before leaving and check if you will be able to use your mobile phone abroad. 
    . A good option is to buy a “country Sim card” in a phone shop. It will cost you around 10€ / 15€ and will allow you to call local phone numbers with internet access

  • MONEY MATTERS & CLOSING HOURS 
    . The currency is the €uro. Make sure to have some cash with you as there aren’t always ATM machines in small villages.
    . Tips are always included (different than in Canada and USA) but always appreciated.
