Paris in autumn

If you had to choose the two weeks that had the best chance of
displaying Paris in autumn colors (i.e. trees), when would that be?
The last week of September and the first week of October?

Later, about mid-November.

I would go to the Vosges.

They afford a great view of Paris.

CORRECTION

NOPE last two weeks of October. IT TAKES A WHILE FOR THE COLORS
TO REACH THEIR BEST.


Correctiàn: here is a weather report I published here in 1997

Oct 13 1997, 3:00*am * *

Starting Saturday, which was a day of rain, less so on Sunday
and now on Monday, with it being cloudy and cooler, one has
to acknowledge Fall has arrived. The trees are telling us
too because the leaves are changing colors. *It is, afterall
mid-October and after 2 or so weeks of non-stop warm and sunny
weather , we are ready to pay our dues.

Because of a lack of trees perhaps!

We got use to seeing the changes via our bi-monthy drive out into
the Aube for the lost 5 years. There are plenty of forests to
be seen on the way, driving on A5.

Neither. The leaves don't usually turn until around the beginning of
November.

That sure beats the hell out of Birnham Wood. It had to be carried.

Paris is far from being the best place to see the autumn colours...

No argument there, but the OP asked about Paris in autumn colours.

When they ask, they don't get it.



There are b etter places to see leaves for sure (US New England, St
Lawrence River in Canada anyone) but Paris like New York does have trees
and parks and these do carry the charm of the season. Take the 1 line to
Chateau Vincennes lots of trees and still arguably Paris.

Nobody asked for the best place.

Thanks, Martin, you read my mind.

I want to see Paris with as much color as possible. If I wanted to
only see autumn colors, I might visit Finland or Sweden, places
with many trees. Another advantage of seeing Paris in autumn is
that there will be far fewer people around. And of course, I won't
to worry about really hot days, days so hot that I am tempted to
just sit in the shade somewhere.
