Are people still playing chess in Jardin du Luxembourg? If yes, where exactly? I went there a couple of times but couldn’t see anyone

Chess in the Jardin
In the northwest corner of the park, between the tennis courts and the rose garden, is where Paris’s most committed chess enthusiasts meet every day to play – sometimes rapid-fire games of five or even three minutes and others that drift on for hours into the evening. On dry, sunny afternoons, these contests can seem like prize fights at a Las Vegas casino, attracting huge crowds that whoop and groan in unison as their player lands a crucial blow or takes a beating.
