In the Jardins du Trocadéro, this simple green bench looks towards the Palais de Chaillot, offering a peaceful corner away from the crowds gathering at the nearby Eiffel Tower viewpoint.
When the Palais de Chaillot was built for the 1937 Exposition Internationale, the gardens were redesigned to create the impressive perspective leading down to the Seine and across to the Eiffel Tower. While most visitors head straight for the famous viewpoint, the benches tucked beneath the trees have long been favoured by locals seeking shade and a quieter appreciation of this historic setting.

Paris has many views — but the one from a Sunday bench might be the most honest.”
Part of the “Mon Banc Dominical” Series
