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

Windows & Balconies of Paris : Avenue Jean Jaurès

Paris apartment buildings are often admired for their grand façades, but the details reward a slower look.

Chairs are set out, deliveries are being made and the cafés wait patiently for the day to gather momentum. This stretch of Montparnasse has long been associated with entertainment. In the nineteenth century, cafés, dance halls and theatres gave the street its lively reputation and even today the theatre signs still hint at evenings that feel very different from mornings like this. There is something appealing about seeing Paris in these quieter hours, before the conversations begin and before the terraces reclaim the pavement. “The streets of Paris are best explored without hurry — they reveal themselves only to the unhurried.” Part of the “Streets of Paris” Series Each Saturday, we wander through the streets of Paris — tracing light, texture, and the quiet poetry of daily life.
