There are several more photos and some reflections.  Below are a couple of additional photos.

Here is another photograph I posted that exemplifies the heat wave we experienced while we were in Paris.  One day, it actually got up to 103 degrees.  Many people don't have air conditioning and took to the parks and streets.  When I saw all these figures in the Luxembourg Gardens, it instantly reminded me of a modern day version of Seurat's Sunday in the Park, thought it was a different park and no one had parasols.
