South of France winter crags; Wow, where to start? I spend quite a bit of time over the winter climbing in and around the Côte d’Azur.
Have a look at the latest Rockfax Côte d’Azur guide, it will give a good idea of what is available.
This is a site by a Côte d’Azur local and there is lots of info on crags not in any guides;

Surprisingly, finding mid week partners is not that easy as a lot of the locals tend to hibernate in the local climbing walls over the winter. Can't really blame them, it gets really cold, down to 20 degrees celsius, sometimes you even have to put a jacket on..........
There is also the South West; Ariege region etc, but I don't know that area very well.
Have fun.
