Mon Banc Dominical / My Sunday Bench in Paris on Pont d'Arcole

Pont d’Arcole, Paris

On Pont d’Arcole, this simple public bench faces the slow movement of the Seine, framed by stone embankments, historic façades, and passing traffic. Positioned between circulation and pause, it reflects a familiar Parisian detail, a place to stop briefly, observe the city’s layers, and share the view without ceremony.

“Paris has many views — but the one from a  bench might be the most honest.”
