We’d like to find some sport climbing in France with a range of 6’s and 7’s where we can find some shade. Currently getting fried in Spain.

Very cool spot for the Vultures too. Lots of long and decent 6s. Can't recommend Le Boffi highly enough. Mix of sun/shade, very good 6s and 7s. 30 min walk is mostly flat from memory. Plus there's Tarn and Jonte nearby.https://www.ukclimbing.com/articles/destinations/le_boffi-1329
Vallouise are for sure. And also rue des masques. Plenty of shade and high up, and proper quality in the 6s. Especially rue des masque.This is one of the best 6c you'll ever do... https://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crags/falaise_de_fessourier-12404/oz-183089With lots of good 7b and 7c next to it.

This is good for getting a general feeling about any confidence levels and how the "models" (windy etc.) correlate to what the local weather experts feel is actually going to happen.https://chamonix-meteo.com/chamonix-mont-blanc/weather/forecast/morning/5_days_weather_forecast.php

I’d put a cross next to it for some reason when looking at it last week, but I can’t remember why.Looking back it seems awesome!

Personally I think that old skool venues aside, French grades (in France) are tougher than Spanish grades on the whole.
