That month is not the best month to spend holidays in Provence/Côte d'Azur. The weather in Orange, Sanary-sur-Mer, Six-Fours-les-Plages, Menton, Bandol, Avignon, Cavalaire, Juan-les-Pins, Fréjus, Porquerolles, Monaco, Ramatuelle, Marseille, Hyères, Aix-en-Provence, Nice, Cannes, La Fos-sur-Mer, Lavandou, La Ciotat, Cassis, Saint-Tropez, Antibes, Sainte-Maxime, Saint-Raphaël, Toulon, Saint-Honorat Island and Sainte-Marguerite Island is quite correct. The sun is not there all the time and you may be faced the rain often. Nonetheless, if you don't plan a beach and relaxation travel but rather sightseeing or a trek, this climate may be enough. In addition, there are certainly fewer tourists at this time.
But it is finally better than in Gap (Hautes-Alpes) and surrounding area where the climate is even worse. It is really not advisable to go to this area this month.
