Find hotels in Colmars from £41

The best area to stay in Colmars is within the historic walled town itself, as it offers the most authentic and convenient experience.

The old town of Colmars is a compact, pedestrian-friendly area encircled by well-preserved 17th-century ramparts. Its narrow, cobbled streets are lined with traditional stone houses, and the two fortified gates – Porte de France and Porte de Savoie – still serve as the main entrances. You'll find a selection of local eateries and small shops tucked away within these mediaeval walls.

Couples looking for a tranquil and romantic getaway will find the historic centre particularly appealing. It's a wonderful place for leisurely strolls, enjoying the quiet ambiance, and discovering hidden courtyards. The proximity to the ramparts also means easy access to scenic walks just outside the town walls.

For families, staying within the walled town offers excellent convenience. Children can explore the historic fortifications and the Ecomuseum of the Pays de la Haute Provence, which is located in the heart of the town.

The best time to go to Colmars is during the late spring (May-June) and early autumn (September-October) when the weather is pleasant and the region is less crowded.

Late spring offers comfortable temperatures, typically ranging from 15°C to 25°C, making it ideal for exploring the natural beauty of the Verdon Gorges and surrounding lavender fields. The wildflowers are in bloom, and the days are long, great for outdoor activities like hiking, cycling, and kayaking. This period is particularly good for couples looking for a romantic escape amidst scenic landscapes, with opportunities for picturesque drives and leisurely lunches at local auberges.

Early autumn also provides excellent weather, with temperatures usually between 18°C and 25°C. The summer crowds have thinned out, and the grape harvests are underway, offering a different but equally appealing experience. The autumn colours in the surrounding forests are beautiful, and it's a great time for discovering local markets and enjoying regional cuisine.
