In February we start with the Mimosa and Carneval and the batailles des fleurs, May everything is green and can be rainy...June is a beautiful month, warm, long days, July is the month of the Lavender..A must see is Bormes Les Mimosas (Var) voted the most flowered village in Europe...

isabel - we spent the first week of March 2003 in Provence/Languedoc. The almond trees were in full bloom and there was green everywhere (unlike the US in March). It was pretty quiet tourist-wise.
