Rain is expected in the northern half of France from Wednesday and should affect “a large part of the country” at the end of the week. After the mildness of January, the return of these colder temperatures allows us to expect snow "at high altitude from Friday February 9 in the Alps and the Pyrenees", writes Météo France.

Snowfall could “affect lower altitudes, or even other massifs” next weekend, warns the weather agency.
