Weather forecast for the Voie de Vézelay (Bourges) in May

The Camino de Vézelay, also known as the Via Lemovicensis, goes through many different parts of France and the weather changes a lot along the way.

The temperature slowly increases from the high teens to low 20s during the day. The nighttime temperatures are cooler, usually around 7 to 9 degrees Celsius.
