Is there a website with historical temperatures and weather data?
I am interested in hiking this fall in France and camping along the way. In order to figure what gear I need to pack to camp (particularly for the sleeping bag), I would like to know what temperatures to expect.
I am interested in historical temperatures to figure the usual temperature and I might look at them for other seasons. If that matters, I am thinking about hiking in the Pays Basque (South West of France), the mountainous part.
Where (ideally online and for free) can I find such data? Are there resources that cover Europe, or even the whole world?

I've always found Wunderground to be pretty useful for travel planning. You can look up the almanac data for any given day. This link has today's data for nearby Biarritz. In addition, their travel planner has the ability to look up the historical weather for a given stretch of time. This link shows an example of the data for Biarritz from October 1 through October 15 (pictured below).

Answer 2
Wikipedia's pages for towns, cities and regions often include a "Climate" section which generally includes average and record temperatures, rainfall and so on.
Also, I'm sure you know this but remember that the climate at the top of a mountain is likely to be very different than that at the bottom.

To add to previous suggestions, you can have some information on the meteofrance (french public service) website.
For example, for Hendaye : http://www.meteofrance.com/previsions-meteo-france/hendaye/64700 where you can see at the page bottom average rain, temperatures, and so on.
(Rain is something to take into account if you plan to visit Pays Basque).
