It's been a busy summer here in Provence with plenty of great events, concerts, festivals and markets. The good news is that there's still plenty more to come. 

Here is a quick rundown of our top picks of things to see and do in Provence this September. 

What's the weather like in Provence in September?

What's on in Provence September 2018

September is when the heat in Provence begins to let up. Average temperatures generally sit around 20ºC, with a low of 15ºC in the evenings and a high of 24ºC during the day. It does tend to be a little wetter than previous months, so there is a chance of a shower. Sunrise around 07:15 and sunset after 19:30. This is a much pleasanter time to be in the area, especially as the families have gone home and things are quiet.
