That's quite a coincidence, Gary. We spent a while in Jardin médiéval du Musée de Cluny one afternoon. That garden is right next door to Musée national du Moyen Âge. Turns out we were sitting within the same block of his observing site!
I didn't get any images in the park but did take some closer to the Pantheon which is quite close by. He would be disappointed with the sky view these days however the city views might make up for that.
Thanks for the information.
