Sunday Bench, Quai de Montebello.

Two empty green metal benches and a tall black ornate street lamp on a paved square in front of a café with green awnings labeled Café Paris, classic Parisian buildings in the background.

On quiet Sundays the Quai de Montebello feels like it belongs only to the early risers. The green benches sit as if waiting for the first conversation of the day. Just steps from the Seine and the shadow of Notre-Dame, this little corner of the Latin Quarter still holds the old Paris feeling, unhurried, slightly melancholic and perfect for watching the city wake up.


Happy Sunday everyone! Have a peaceful day, everyone.

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