It does depend on where you are but the range is not that great. France, after all, is not much bigger than the average sized American state and quite small in comparison to
Texas or California.

In Paris, in the north, the average June temperature is 22 degrees celsius/72 degrees farenheit. The average rainfall is 56 millimeters/2.2 inches.

In Nice, in the south, the average temperature is 20 degrees celsius/68 degrees farenheit and the average rainfall is 39 millimeters/1.5 inches.

Depends on where in France.

But it will be very very hot almost everywhere.

Take a raincoat no matter what time of year you go. And an umbrella.

And waterproof shoes.

France occupies a large and diverse land mass that produces varied weather patterns.

West & North West

The Atlantic coast enjoys a temperate maritime climate with mild wet winters and cool summers. The prevailing wind from the west is humid : rain and mist is frequent. Northern France is flat allowing this weather pattern to move further inland.

East

The landlocked east of France has a continental climate producing hot summers with cold winters. The mountainous parts have mountain weather, with rain (snow) increasing with altitude.

Central

The centre of France has a continental climate modified by the maritime effect increasing towards the coast.

Mediterranean

The Mediterranean coast enjoys hot dry summers and mild winters. Rainfall is at the same level as much of central France but tends to fall as torrential rain in relatively few days over the winter.

Winds

The west coastal area weather is influenced by the prevailing winds from the Atlantic. The Rhone valley has occasional cold Mistral winds blowing from the north. The west Languedoc area has a similar wind : the Tramontaine that blows from the NW.

In june the weather is hot . But of course that's dÃ©pend where you go , if you're next mediterrannÃ©e (in the south) the weather is better than in Paris .

I disagree with the other contributors. France is almost the same size as Texas, but it's weather differs greatly depending on where you are. It is in the Jet Stream and so it is warmer in the north even though it is even to the northern part of the US. In Paris the weather is temperate but it can rain a lot. In the north (Brittany, Normandy) it rains a lot because it is on the English channel. In the mountains (Pyrenees, Alps) it can be much colder. In the south (Provence, Cote d'Azur) it gets much hotter and has a Mediterranean climate.
