A cold snap is currently affecting a large part of the country. Almost all regions will be facing negative temperatures, snow, and even icy conditions.

This is the forecast from Météo France. Only the south and west are currently escaping this weather phenomenon, which, although not uncommon for this time of year, has become an exception in recent years.

The departments under an orange weather warning can be seen on this map from Météo France.

It is important to keep in mind that Météo France is predicting a week of consistent weather. So, be cautious if you need to travel in these areas, as snow and freezing rain are expected.
