December days average low teens with regular rain, and the town runs at winter pace with a small festive lift around New Year. It is a month for atmosphere rather than activities: empty walls, sea storms from a cafe window, and the riviera to yourself.
Can you swim?
Realistically no; the sea is cold. The sea averages 17°C this month; check the live sea temperature for what it is doing today.
