🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect a Mediterranean spring at its peak: daytime temperatures hover around +21°C (70°F) , dropping to +13°C (55°F) after sunset. What to wear: Layering is your best friend. Bring a light linen shirt for the day and a stylish blazer or denim jacket for the evening breeze. Footwear: You’ll be walking on cobblestones and coastal trails; opt for comfortable sneakers or the local favorite—leather sandals. Pro Tip: May is the peak of the blooming season—nature is vibrant, but if you have allergies, keep your antihistamines handy for the plane trees in the squares.

🍽 Where to eat

La Pesquière (1 Rue de la Ponche) — Located right in the old quarter, this spot is famous for its traditional fish soup (Bouillabaisse style) and affordable lunch plats du jour.
Crêperie Grand-Mère (2 Rue des Remparts) — A budget-friendly gem near the Citadelle. According to reviews, their savory galettes are a local staple, but check the daily board for specials.

🎁 Souvenirs

La Tarte Tropézienne (Place des Lices/Port) — You cannot leave without trying the official cake of the town, created by Alexandre Micka in 1955.
The walk to the Citadelle is a bit steep; save your energy for the "Golden Hour" view at 18:00 when the light hits the terracotta roofs perfectly.
