Yes, herbes de Provence - but look for the delightful little Provençal
pottery jars with Herbes de Provence written on them -
makes a great memory later.

You lucky stiff, Ariane! You're going to our favorite haunts. Don't pack
too light - you'll need something warm, plus rain gear of some kind. The
last time we were in Paris it was April, cold and rained all week. The
Côte d'Azur was warmer, but not beach weather. Have a great time!
