🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect delightful spring weather with daytime highs around +20°C to +22°C. While the sun is bright, the sea breeze can be brisk.

- Footwear: Essential! You’ll be traversing cobblestones in the Old Town and sandy paths on the Sentier du Littoral. Leave the stilettos for the yachts; opt for stylish sneakers or espadrilles.
- Pro-tip: Sunset is late (approx. 20:46). Head to the port around 19:40 for the "Golden Hour" to capture the famous ochre buildings in their best light.
