Answer:
Seasons in France
In France, there are four seasons: winter, spring, summer, and fall, or autumn, as it is sometimes called, after the Latin autumnus. The French use the word automne, which has the same origins, as well as hiver, printemps, and été to designate the three other seasons. Seasons are masculine, but since three out of four begin with vowel sounds, you will often see them preceded by the preposition en. Otherwise, we use the preposition au before printemps, the preposition more often associated with masculine words.
There are corresponding weather patterns for each season, with the winter being cold and even snowy in parts of France, spring being less cold, but chilly and damp, summer being hot and sunny, and autumn being mild and very colorful, with leaves turning brilliant warm hues before their eventual shedding. Speaking about the weather is always a useful topic, whether (nice conjunction here – get it?) it is to determine which clothing to wear, or to avoid brawls, fist fights, or a glass of champagne thrown in one’s face at holiday gatherings because of some remark about politics, someone’s bossy personality, or how much money a donor gave to a hospital wing. I definitely do not need anything dehydrating on my face during the winter season.
Useful Words and Phrases for Each Season
If you’d like to ask about the weather, you can say “Quel temps fait-il ?” To ask about seasonal preferences, you can say “Quelle saison préférez-vous ?” The word faire is used quite a bit in expressions involving the weather. Generally, you would say “Il fait” to introduce an observation about the weather, such as “Il fait beau” (“It’s nice out”) or “Il fait moche” (“The weather is bad”). The word faire is also used for many seasonal activities in which you can participate. Here are some useful words and phrases for each season:

You can see that whatever the season, there are plenty of ways to describe the weather, as well as plenty of activities in which you can participate. Luckily, France has a varied geography, with weather patterns that differ from region to region, so if you are into winter sports, you can head up to the Alps, and if you are more of a beach person, you can head over to the Mediterranean Sea. Of course, it is not possible to do each and every activity year-round, such as grape-stomping, which is why it is nice to be able to experience France in all of its seasons.
