Cultural Tip
In France, April weather is famously unpredictable – the proverb 'Avril, ne te découvre pas d'un fil' warns that a single warm day doesn't mean spring has fully arrived. When you ask about April heat, locals may reference this saying and note regional differences, especially between the mild Mediterranean coast and cooler northern areas.
