French Riviera Elopement

Are you looking for an adventurous and intimate elopement? Then France is the perfect destination with its breathtaking natural beauty, luxurious hotels, incredible weather and of course the exquisite food & wine! You can opt for an elopement on one of the many beautiful beaches along the Cote d’Azur, or escape to the mountains for a truly intimate experience. Eloping in the French Riviera, also known as the Côte d’Azur, is a dreamy and romantic experience that many couples dream of.

Which month is best for my French Riviera Elopement?

If you’re considering eloping in the French Riviera, choosing the best month for your special day is crucial. While the French Riviera is beautiful year-round, there are certain months that offer the perfect combination of weather, ambiance, and activities for your elopement. 

Generally, the most popular period to have a French Riviera Elopement is during Springtime, Summer, and Autumn. The most desired months are May, June, September and October as the weather is cooler and these months have less tourists!

May & June

May is a wonderful month to elope in the French Riviera. The weather is mild and pleasant, with spring blooms in full bloom. If you time it right you could be in France for the wild poppies (May) or the famous lavender fields (mid June – mid July).

June is another great month for eloping in the French Riviera. The days are long, the weather is warm but not too hot, and the region is alive with summer energy. You can enjoy outdoor activities and explore the charming villages without the peak summer crowds.

September & October

September is considered the “shoulder season” in the French Riviera, making it an ideal time for eloping. The weather is still warm, the sea is inviting for a beach ceremony, and the vineyards are ready for harvest, adding a romantic touch to your celebration.

If you prefer a quieter and more peaceful elopement, October is a great choice. The weather is still pleasant, the autumn colours are starting to appear, and you can enjoy the region’s beauty without the summer crowds.
