The best time to visit Pelonne is during the spring (late April to early June) and autumn (September to October) months, when the weather is pleasant for outdoor activities and the region is less crowded.Spring brings mild temperatures, typically ranging from 15°C to 20°C, and the countryside is lush with blooming wildflowers. This is an excellent time for hiking and exploring the natural beauty of the Auvergne region without the heat of summer. You'll find the local markets beginning to offer fresh, seasonal produce, great for enjoying the local cuisine.Autumn offers similar comfortable temperatures, usually between 12°C and 18°C, and the landscape is painted with beautiful autumnal colours, particularly in the forested areas around the Puy de Dôme. It's an ideal period for scenic drives and enjoying the region's culinary delights, such as mushroom foraging and wine tasting, as the harvest season is in full swing. The fewer tourists also mean a more tranquil experience at popular attractions.While summer (July and August) is also popular, with temperatures often exceeding 25°C, it's also the busiest period, especially around the major volcanic sites.
