That's it, you're retired, so it's up to you to enjoy holidays in the sun, distant destinations or a tour of France to get to know the regions of our country better. Whatever means of vacation you choose like a rental, hotel, holiday village, camping, boat cruise or motorhome and many more, you are free to go wherever you want. seems to you and especially to choose your vacation time. The months of June and September are widely recommended, here are some reasons.
In July and August, all the resorts are crowded with people, especially the seaside. toes. Only pensioners who go on vacation with their grandchildren choose this period. In June and September, there are therefore fewer people everywhere, including in the mountains and inland or even abroad. These two months are therefore an ideal period to plan a pleasant trip.
If you plan to go on vacation by car, September and October are still two months when there are no huge traffic jams on the roads and highways. Without these traffic jams, you drive quietly on the tourist roads, and even on the highways. This way you avoid stress and a considerable loss of time.
The weather is another important option to help you make your choice. When it's too hot or too cold, a vacation is always disappointing. In June and September, the weather is often very mild. Thus, you benefit from lower temperatures than in the middle of summer, but much more bearable. If you go to the seaside in September, you can also swim and enjoy it, because the water temperature is even better than in July.
When you avoid taking vacations in the middle of summer, you save big. Indeed, by leaving outside school periods, you can obtain reductions on your accommodation of up to half price, especially in tourist areas. You will also notice that the cafes on the terrace are also much cheaper as well as the food products at the small traders and supermarkets.
When you go out of season, there is still a fairly decent number of holidaymakers. In June and September, the resorts are not empty or inanimate, but simply affordable. Leisure activities are already or still exist. You can visit monuments and museums without having to queue for hours in the sun. The campsites are also open and it is nice to get to know other people without having to wait for your turn in the sanitary facilities.
If your holiday goal is to really soak up the authentic atmosphere of certain places, then avoid the high summer months and go in June or September, especially if your destination is a region that is usually very popular with tourists. During the visits, you can spend more time admiring a work in a museum or immersing yourself in a historic place, for example. While shopping, you will also find shopkeepers friendlier and less stressed, as their stores are not crowded and they therefore have more time for you.
Being on vacation when others are working is a feeling you didn't know when you weren't yet retired. To leave before or after those who work is quite jubilant. Moreover, you do not have a specific time to give to your vacation, but the time you want. So you can leave in June, but also in September.
Tanning always makes you feel better about yourself, which explains the attraction for self-tanners. We stock up on vitamin D to be in better shape during the winter. Having tinted skin gives a healthy glow and also highlights clothes. By tanning in June, you are ahead of the others who are all white and in September, your golden tan looks great on you when you go out in the evening or go to see friends who are jealous of your beautiful tow when they are all pale.
In June there are few public holidays and in September none at all. Thus, you avoid long weekends where everyone goes down to the same place for a few days and enjoy the terraces of restaurants, cafes, leisure parks, beaches, amusement parks, high places of visits, etc.
If you decide to go on vacation in June, you are taking a break in the middle of the year. So, and apart from the other benefits we have just seen, you perfectly balance your vacation spots and the time you stay at home. If you go in September, thanks to the mild weather, the sea water still very warm if you go to the beach, the days still long enough, the sun present will allow you to fill up on energy and rest then that you are only three months away from Christmas and the winter season.
The list of these few good reasons to go on vacation in June and/or September when you are a senior is far from exhaustive. You can find other good reasons to go for a walk wherever you want and enjoy your retirement to the full.
