Adverbial modifier of time and place
Could you please correct this sentences?
It will take place in Paris, in December, in Winter.
I think the 'winter' isn`t necessary' is it?
A lot of turists come in/to New York in August, in Summer.
I needed these sentences as an example to show that, at first you should place an adverbial modifier of place and after it an adverbial modifier of time. But if there are two adverbial modifiers of time one of them that shows a short period of time is placed first. Are they a good example?
Thanks

The sentences are awkward at best. ' Because the sentences are awkward, I don't think they are the best examples to illustrate a grammar point. " This could be an example.

The sentences are awkward at best. You certainly don't need 'in Winter' and 'in Summer.' Because the sentences are awkward, I don't think they are the best examples to illustrate a grammar point.
"Visit the Taj on a full moon night in December." This could be an example. However, "in December" modifies "a full moon night."
