If you’re moving to France soon, you may be there in time for spring! Springtime in the French countryside is certainly enjoyable in more ways than one.
The changing landscape
The spring heralds the reawakening of France’s diverse landscape, from the coast and countryside to the mountains, as birds return, flowers bloom and tourist numbers pick up. In areas like the Alps and Pyrenees, late spring turns the land from white to green as warmer temperatures melt the snow and ice.

Enjoying your garden
France offers very affordable opportunities to own properties with large gardens and grounds attached. This provides a never-ending list of activities in spring, none of which are particularly sedentary. Mowing, planting, stacking logs – all these things can transform your cardio and fitness regime without you even noticing.
Staying active
The arrival of spring means you can get outdoors and get active. Take advantage of the fabulous walking trails, cycling “Chemins”, water sports and other wonderful activities that rural France has to offer.

Basking in the sunshine
Whilst moods can go up and down during times of stress, it’s certainly true that when the sun is shining, it’s harder to stay miserable. There’s nothing better for mental health than longer days, being outside both doing things that are productive or simply relaxing.
Community spirit continues
People being outside in their gardens brings a chance to communicate in whichever way you still can, certainly with neighbours. Whether that’s shouting across roads and boundaries to check up on each other, having small dance offs from our driveways, or simply feeling like you’ve seen a friendly face and are simply not alone, the community spirit in France is in full action during spring.
