LOL

Yes for all! I would say a bit less maple and larch and more beech and a lot of evergreen of course.
I just found this site (it's french , but i give you the link for the latin names) . It lists all trees common in Europe and more particulary in France.
http://www.lesarbres.fr/noms-des-arbres-latin-.html
Here is a german site
The first link is called "The most common trees in germany".
This is also good for France!
http://www.baumkunde.de/haeufigste-baeume-deutschland.php

This again is the link to the register of trees with the latin names.
By the way an excellent resource for all sort of infos like bark, leaves etc
http://www.baumkunde.de/baumlisten/baumliste_az_scientific.php

Just surf it a bit and cross reference using latin names and you will have everything you ever need
