Mon banc dominical / My Sunday Bench - Quai de la Loire.

Some Paris benches invite conversation, others invite observation. This one, facing the calm water of the Bassin de la Villette in the 19th arrondissement feels designed for neither hurry nor destination . There is something quietly satisfying about this stretch of the canal, where the city loosens its pace. Across the water, apartment blocks and footbridges remind you that this is everyday Paris rather than postcard Paris, and perhaps that is exactly its appeal.

Empty tables in Paris are rarely empty for long, they simply mark the pause before the next gathering. On the Terraces of Paris, where anticipation is sometimes part of the scene. Bon jeudi ! “A Paris terrace is never just somewhere to sit, it’s a way of observing the city at its own pace.” Part of the “On the Terraces of Paris” series Each Thursday we take a seat on one of Paris’s terraces, those open-air rooms where the city’s everyday life unfolds in full view.

Mon banc dominical / My Sunday Bench in Paris - Montparnasse Cemetery

One of Paris’s principal burial grounds, now the resting place of writers, artists and thinkers from across two centuries. A bench here feels less like somewhere to sit and more like an invitation to pause. Rest in peace. Bon dimanche à tous ! Have a peaceful day, everyone. Paris has many views — but the one from a Sunday bench migh t 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. bout Paris — Mon Banc Dominical · Back to Home Browse the full series
