Paris in the Heat

A trip to Paris for a conference landed me in one of the hottest summers on record. The temperature climbed to 100ºF and remained there for a week or so. I was interested in fashion strategies, or what Parisians wear when it's that bloody hot.

 Women of the young kind are in shorts, older women are in dresses, or loose fitting pants.

                                                  Then you have the ones who wear both.

I was fascinated by this woman's head gear...

A few other stand outs that I surreptitiously photographed:

Inside the Bastille Opera House

 Inside the Pompidou Center, I was mesmerized by videos of dancers whose rhythmic movements influenced the architect, Le Corbusier. The visitor's outfits were also mesmerizing.

Difficult to see, the woman in red and white dress with striped green and white bag. I had to check my bike helmet, but that's another story. Next time I go to the museum, I'll be sure to bring a cool looking tote bag.
