This bench on Place Louis-Aragon has a front-row seat above the Seine. Set on the cobbled paving beneath a mature tree, it looks across the river towards the quays of the Right Bank. There is no shortage of grand views in Paris but this one is best enjoyed sitting down. The little square occupies the north-western tip of Île Saint-Louis, where the river curves around the island and the passing boats provide a constantly changing view.
"Paris has many views but the ones from a Sunday bench might 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.
