More and more seniors are leaving France in winter for a sunnier destination with a more pleasant climate. Once retired, without professional or family constraints, and you want to stay in shape, there is nothing like being able to spend the winter in a region where the weather is nice and warm and enjoy as much of activities. Our ideas for 3 sun destinations to spend the winter in great shape.
Morocco is one of the favorite destinations of the French. Many seniors leave even if they settle for several months a year, or even permanently. For good reason, Morocco benefits in particular on its Atlantic coast from a Mediterranean climate. Winters resemble French springs but with much longer sunny periods and much less precipitation. Destinations like Agadir, Essaouira, Casablanca or Tangier are therefore to be preferred if you want to spend a winter in good shape under the sun.
For those who are really looking for the sun, going to the Marrakech region is also a very good choice. Located further inland, this city and its surroundings enjoy a lot of sunshine, even in winter. The temperatures can still be a little lower than those of the regions located on the Atlantic coast of Morocco. The maximum temperatures still fluctuate between an average of 27 degrees in October and 20 degrees in February.
In addition to its pleasant and sunny climate, Morocco offers an exceptional diversity of landscapes and the possibility of practicing many activities that allow older people to stay in shape. Added to that a lower cost of living than in France, Morocco is really an ideal destination, especially in winter.
