There are many gardens and parks in Paris and when the weather is fine the gardens are full: people walking, running, sitting, reading, talking, sunbathing, playing....
This is the garden at the Sénat; there are tables here, not just chairs, because there is a chess board (un jeu d'échecs) drawn on the table. The men under these beautiful, purple pologna trees are playing chess.
The fountains have great success,everybody sits round them.
This fountain is in the gardens of the Palais Royal and just next to them is the square with the columns of Buren.
Strange, but beautiful. people climb (grimpent) on them, sit on them, and everybody takes photos of them.

HOT WEATHER in PARIS
By carolweb on Thursday, May 27 2010,
It was very hot at the weekend when I was in Paris and a lot of Parisian women were in shorts. Here you can see them enjoying the sun on the quays of the Seine.
The big event was Nature on the Champs Elysées.
This is the poster on the side of the road which shows an overall view.There were trees, bushes, flowers, fruit and vegetables...and of course people, thousands of people!
Pine trees
Vines
Tomatoes and strawberries.
Everything was planted in boxes to be easy to transport, it was unbelievably (incroyablement) well organised. The visitors were very happy to see all these plants, but didn't always know what they were: there were not enough labels (pas assez d'étiquettes). They strolled slowly and calmly looking at everything, very interested, and delighted (enchantés) when they recognized something.
