We live in a valley and the weather is relatively wet (it rains every
2-3 days) all year long. Should I protect the tomatoes from the rain?
The temperature goes up a lot 35-38°C in the summer but air humidity
is high.

Which tomato does/would do best in a wet climate?


Sounds like similar conditions to most of the southeastern US,
and I could name some tomatoes that do well under those
conditions; but it won't do you much good if you can't get them
in France.

Susan's (The Cook) suggestion is a good one. Talk to the people
who garden near you, or to the folks at the plant nurseries. If
you're interested in something more exotic or heirloom stock, try
googling on a phrase like "heirloom tomatoes for Southern France"
or "heat and split resistance tomatoes for SF" or what ever is
most appropriate.
