L'automne place Hoche

Autumn on Place Hoche. For winter views of the beautiful, beautiful tree, see here and here. If anyone knows what these flowers are (not the dahlias), please let me know!

Pour voir l'arbre en hiver, voyez ici et ici. Si quelqu'un sait ce que sont ces fleurs (pas les dahlias), je suis preneuse de l'information !
