When to go en Irlande ?
Ireland is best visited between May and September, but the country also lends itself wonderfully to off-season stays. And with a multitude of direct flights from all French regions, it is very easy to go there, even if only for a weekend. Beware: some hotels in the provinces are closed during the low season, so it is essential to book (long) in advance if you want to come and celebrate St. Patrick's Day (March 17).
The Irish climate is an oceanic, mild and temperate climate. In autumn, temperatures are around 10°C. Winters are, without exception, quite mild, and temperatures range from 3 to 8°C. Spring can still be quite cool. Summers are generally warm, and temperatures rarely exceed 20°C. In Ireland, the weather is fine when it is not raining! Showers are unpredictable (and frequent) in all seasons... And it can be sunny 5 minutes later.
Ireland is best visited between May and September, but it is also the high season that drives up prices. In addition, Ireland lends itself wonderfully to off-season stays. And with a multitude of really cheap direct flights from all regions of France, it is very easy to get there, even if only for a weekend. However, weekends in Ireland require a little organization because the accommodations are often overcrowded and it is better to book. Finally, if there is a date not to be missed if you want to experience the Irish fervor, it is obviously St. Patrick's Day (March 17), the feast of the patron saint of Ireland: beer flows freely, and everyone is dressed in green.

Ideas for holidays and week-end breaks en Irlande
Ces dernières années, le tourisme est devenu l’industrie principale d'Irlande. Pour le visiteur et son budget, l’un des atouts de ce pays réside dans sa petite taille : 275 km d’est en ouest et 486 km du nord au sud. Cela permet de se déplacer assez facilement et rapidement, et de visiter les sites les plus importants. Chaque région est particulière. Au nord comme au sud, à l’est comme à l’ouest, les sites intéressants abondent. Il faut prévoir une escale dans les régions de Cork et du Kerry, dans le Connemara et en Irlande du Nord. Tout est beau ici, seule la région du centre est relativement pauvre, comparée au reste du pays.
En une semaine, on peut explorer de nombreuses régions, à condition de faire des escales assez rapides. Si votre séjour doit être court, choisissez plutôt une partie bien définie du pays, quitte à y revenir une autre fois. Un séjour d’un mois est conseillé et suffisant pour connaître le pays d’une façon détaillée.

Discover l'Irlande
Ireland is a multi-faceted destination that will delight the most demanding visitors. It must be said that the Emerald Isle offers an incredible nature, with sleeping lakes, breathtaking cliffs, moors and enchanting forests. But beyond the landscapes, the visitor will be immersed in the very rich Irish history. A history also marked by the separation in two of an island, three quarters of which became a republic in 1922. But also by famines, struggles against the yoke of the British Crown and by the eternal quest for freedom of a people so proud and brave. A people whose history is also marked by a dizzying immigration, like a survival reflex. Today, the island seems to live to the rhythm of family celebrations, pub outings, rich gastronomy, choice festivals or long walks on the superb hiking trails that criss-cross the country
