Streets of Paris - on Rue Guisarde (6e)

Rue Guisarde is a charming, narrow street in the heart of Paris's 6th arrondissement , in the vibrant Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighborhood. It's a short pedestrian-friendly lane running from Rue Mabillon to Rue des Canettes, known for its lively atmosphere. It is one of those Paris streets that quietly comes alive as evening approaches. Festive lights stretch overhead, shopfronts glow and people drift through at an unhurried pace. It's a quintessential slice of Parisian life, historic yet buzzing with modern energy!

Boulevard Malesherbes remains one of Paris's most elegant, tree-lined avenues, blending history (Marcel Proust lived here), luxury and cultural significance. “The streets of Paris are best explored without hurry — they reveal themselves only to the unhurried.” Part of the “Streets of Paris” Series Each Saturday, we wander...

Mon Banc Dominical — My Sunday Bench in Paris

Along Boulevard Richard-Lenoir, the benches line the path in quiet succession, each one offering a pause beneath the trees. This stretch of green softens the boulevard’s wide sweep. Here, sitting is never about doing very much. It is about watching the light change through the leaves, listening to footsteps pass, and letting the city continue around you without asking anything in return. “Paris has many views — but the one from a Sunday bench might be the most honest.” Part of the “Mon Banc Dominical” Series Each Sunday, we find a quiet corner of Paris — a bench, a park, a view — and let the city breathe for a while.
