Two benches wait beneath thinning leaves, holding space rather than people. In this quiet corner of the Palais Royal, nothing asks us to choose sides or raise our voice. The garden carries on, unchanged by arguments elsewhere, reminding us how much calmer the world feels when we stop being steered into noise and simply sit, observe and think, for ourselves and about, others.
“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.
