Well, we're only halfway through June and already the temperature in Paris is pretty unsufferable. It looks like it may be another long hot summer. Today we were at a potluck picnic in the Parc Monceau, along with half of Paris. The Parc is quite intimate and surrounded on all side by large Haussman-style apartments as you can see in the photo.
We sat under the shade of a large plane tree, but had to keep shuffling our rugs, plates and bottles of wine sideways as the sun moved around in the sky. It felt a bit like picnicking on a large sundial. Odd how, when the sun is hot like that, one only has to move a few feet into the shade and it makes a world of difference.
