Where should you go in French Riviera and Provence in march when it comes to the weather?

Remember:
The climate in French Riviera and Provence in march ranges from tolerable to very bad depending on the region and city.

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.
