What to take?

at the beach

When I visited Nice in April, it was raining cats and dogs, and was freezing cold. The sea wasn't azure at all! So, we were all disappointed! Especially because some of us were there for the 1st time.

That's why warm clothes and umbrellas are advised in March/April and October/November.
