I finished a 6 month stay in early April 2005, and it was definitely Spring!! We just returned from a 3 week stay - for me the SHORTEST stay in many years. The exchange rate is horrendous, perhaps that will improve before your trip. I'd be interested in hearing about your apt. I normally rent a longer term apt, usually in the 15th, because I like to avoid the touristy neighborhoods. This time SO insisted we stay in the 5th (he hasn't been to Paris in years!) - bad, bad, bad idea. Very $$ dumpy apt in the loudest possible area - all night. And suddenly, Paris is back on a sanitation binge - the trash/recycling/street washing and sweeping guys come by every day - 4 separate rounds, beginning at 4 am. Paris has never been so darned clean :) March may be less rainy than you expect, like everywhere, the weather is changing there.
