Mon Banc Dominical / My Sunday Bench in Paris - plain and simple.

Today's bench sits on the grand Boulevard Malesherbes, the wide Haussmann boulevard stretches ahead with no crowds, no spectacle, just quiet elegance in the 8th arrondissement.

 This classic green bench is framed by towering plane trees, those sturdy, mottled giants planted in the 19th century during Baron Haussmann's extensive redesign.

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