Here’s a small corner of the Hôtel de Ville where the façade leans into a quiet garden. Sculpted stonework, statues, and a slate roof meet trimmed flower beds and old iron lamp posts, creating a moment of calm just steps from the city’s busier thoroughfares.
Look closely and you’ll see how the building’s details reward a little attention: carved figures set in niches, a rooftop clock tucked into the cornice, and gentle patina on the lampposts. Paris keeps its best surprises in places like this.
“A quiet corner of the city, framed by stone and shade.”
