The climate in the various hunting territories is Mediterranean / continental. In autumn in the South of France, the climate is generally mild and sunny. However, bad weather can happen. Snow can occur, especially after November. Please click here to see a current weather report from CNN.com.

European formalities
For hunters originating from the European Community, the people and goods circulation is free of formalities. For the weapons, see here.

A hunting license is required to hunt in France.

For the foreign hunters, a temporary hunting license valid from three to nine days is available. We take care of the formalities, we just need a copy of your current hunting license.

Equipment

Clothing
It is recommended to use classic hunting clothes. The clothes must me as silent as possible and with neutral colours or camo (recommended). As the weather can be changing quickly, it is necessary to bring a warm and waterproof jacket, a polar vest, a hat or a cap and gloves.

It is very important to have good waterproof hiking boots with a good grip for the mountain hunts. The boots must imperatively have been worn prior to the hunt to prevent blisters.

Other equipement  
Binoculars (from x7 to x12 zoom).
A small backpack, knife, camera, torch, water bottle and all the equipment you generally use when hunting.
