The temperature was well into the 80′s this weekend which seem extra hot to me in a city with building and streets capturing and reflecting the heat. I don’t do well in extreme heat, always trying to find areas with shade. I was in Palais Royal part of the time with some friends and joined many others from Paris enjoying the day.

A cooling tunnel of shade under the trees.

Looking out from under the trees.

Catching some rays while getting a little cool air by the fountain.

The sun streaming in through the arches into the covered walkway where I was keeping in the shade. A few hours later clouds arrived with a little rain which helped cool it down.
Wow that is HOT!!! I love the Tunnel of Trees, so cooling under there I would of thought. We had lots of rain last night..it hammered it down!!
Great shots, Linda. A mini vacation for me.
It’s hot and wet here too, however I’m sick so have been a couch potato all the holiday weekend!
Meanwhile I’m catching up with all the blogs I missed while in England. It was so beautiful there – definitely plannng to return next Spring!
We stayed close to Moulin Rouge one visit – never went to a show either!!
Oh Linda. I remember the heat in Germany. I used to go to the grocery store and stand near the frozen food. We are so used to AC in the US that I do not think that many remember what it’s like not to have AC everywhere. At least when it’s hot here we can go inside, or to a shop or restaurant to cool down.
I’m so jealous! Its STILL cold here and even..snowing!..in some parts!
Get me on the next plane out of here!
The tunnel of trees is absolutely inviting.
