Where should you go in the French Alps in march when it comes to the weather?

Remember:
The climate in the French Alps in march is very bad across the board.

March is not the best month to go to in Rhône-Alpes. The weather in Drôme and Montélimar is quite correct. The sun is not there all the time and you might make you wet by rain often. Nevertheless, if you don't plan a beach and sun trip in Rhône-Alpes but rather discovery of heritage or a trek, this climate may be good enough for you. In addition, there are definitely fewer tourists this month.

But it is finally better than in Ardèche, Annecy (Haute-Savoie), Aix-les-Bains, Annonay, Thonon-les-Bains, Bourg-en-Bresse (Ain), Lyon, Savoy, Roanne, Chamonix, Saint-Etienne, Grenoble (Isère) and Chambéry and surrounding areas where the climate is very bad. It is really not advisable to go to these areas this month.
