Hi Everybody,

Thank you all for the timely help and advice. I am finally in Paris and got done with my first day - and needless to say, it was amazing ! I have one small concern though. We are leaving for Provence in 3 days. In Paris, there is not a single leaf on any tree. Will Provence be the same way this time of the year with not much greenery and flowers ? If yes, Is it worth going there at all ? Thanks again for your help.
PS: Stududley, your provence itinerary is great.

Lucky you! Have a wonderful trip in Paris and Provence!

Hi F,

How long in Paris, how long in Provence?

I'm not sure what gave you the idea trees would be in leaf now - we don;t have any here either - and the first flowers are only starting - its just too early. Provence is usually a couple of weeks ahead - but don;t know about this year.

Go to Provence, it is worth going to even without leaves, as is Paris!

If you wanted leaves on trees, at this time of year, then Hawaii,Florida, or Southern California...We have plenty here in Southern California. Happy Travels!
