Indian summer on the Giens peninsula
This North American expression describes sunny, mild weather just after the start of autumn. In our region, this period occurs either in October or early November. Sometimes, it doesn’t happen at all. At this time of year, the Presqu’île de Giens empties itself of summer tourists and gradually becomes wild and peaceful again, offering magnificent spectacles to anyone who wants to witness them.
At this time of year, there are far fewer tourists and the temperatures are still very pleasant. You can take advantage of all the activities the Presqu’île de Giens has to offer at this time of year.
