Le Temps des fleurs is the twenty-first studio album by French singer Dalida. Named after the title song, it was first released in 1968 and became her penultimate album to be released under Barclay Records. Described by critics as "a poetic masterpiece with very sweet, sweet music", it was also commercially successful with international sales of around 100,000 units, becoming the best selling album released in 1968 by a French artist. The tracks in the album are based on pop music, each one making a mixture with easy listening, schlager, folk or chanson genres. Most songs are moody ballads, which gives a seriousness to album. While "Les anges noirs" addresses the issue of black children's position in society, there is also a child number "Le petit perroquet", for which Dalida appeared on animated television series accompanied by bird cage. Four of twelve songs on album are cover versions. "Quelques larmes de pluie" is cover of Rain and Tears, which Dalida also recorded in German as "Regenzeit-Tränenleid" and in Italian as "Lacrime e pioggia", and released them as B-side to German and Italian singles of "An jenem Tag" and "Quelli erano giorni", respectively.
