Answer 7

It can start snowing in the mountains (Alps,  Pyrenees), as early as September, sometimes even in August in the Alps are those are quite tall mountains and a cold snap is enough to make it cold enough up there for snow.

Usually you can see the first flurries of snow in November in the coldest parts of France (Ardennes, north). Serious snowing is around December.

Answer 8

Probably about the same time it does in our Midwest - they being in the same latitudes I think.

Answer 9

Hi

It depends where you are in France.

The Pyrenees had its first snow in September.

The Med coast only sees snow every 5 years.
