That 1°F reading is from February 1956. Let alone palms, it killed a most of the olive trees. Fwiw, here are the temps from that month (from Meteostats). The mean temp was apparently exactly 0°C. Looks like a 20°F high on the 10th:

The French data is from 1971-2000 and the English from 1981-2010.
Anyway, this is a D. Given the very warm summers and decent storms they get, I upgrade it to a C.
Thanks for posting that data. I'm surprised that Feb 1956 had (I think) 6 ice days as well as those cold lows. Yeah, that would kill off just about anything subtropical. Same thing can happen in the US South. From what I've heard, the people there (in the US)just replant everything since those temps are so rare.
Still a nice climate though for such a latitude, and looks pretty nice in January (streetview). France and Italy are top of my list for travel. I have a good friend that moved from Philly to Geneva about three years ago. We used to share an apartment way back. He just got married in Geneva, and now can stay in Switzerland. He goes skiing in the French Alps and they take breaks to Nice for sun. He keeps beggin me to come over for a visit. Now I can't wait to check out some of these places. I've been to Paris but never got further than that in France.
Too dry in July, and infuriating lack of winter snow. That being said, the spring, (non-July) summer, and fall are nice, and precipitation is acceptable. I'll give it a C.
Though I give a B- due to those slightly too hort summer avg high temps.
Yep, up to about 27 or 28C, is fine by me. Frosts cold enough to kill Olive trees, is a concern though. They are a very hardy tree for most Oceanic/Mediterranean climates and it's hard to imagine them getting killed or even damaged by cold.
