Freezing days are practically non-existent as are unbearably hot ones with temperatures rarely going above 30°C. The winds are generally light, as are the number of rainy days (63 per year on average). Snow is rare on the coast.

There is no such thing as climatic homogeneity in the Loire Valley. Like many of France's regions, here, you'll find great diversity of weather patterns. The city of Saint-Étienne, an agglomeration with a rich industrial heritage, is situated in the intersection the Ordaine and the Gier valleys. Urbanized and inhabited up to an elevation of 700 meters, the winters there are quite often harsh and snow-filled.

Amboise:
