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.”
