Villa in Laroque with Pool, Near Mediterranean Beaches

Rental Holiday Home in Laroque des Alberes Weather

This area of Southern France enjoys a Mediterranean climate, with on average 300 days of sunshine each year, enjoying hot summers and mild winters - ideal for a holiday at any time of year!

Although the nearby Pyrenees are famous for snow in winter (and are within driving distance for skiing), it is very unusual for us to get snow in winter and on the rare occasion when it does happen it is only a light dusting which disappears within a couple of hours.
