« One day, one discovery »: a journey towards more light and beautiful places to sunbathe in 2021 ! Door open to the neighborhood! D-24.

Go out and beat the pavement, after a day’s work, to stretch your legs, despite the biting cold. Stop to enjoy the view of the illuminated city hall in the early evening.

Be seized by the calm that reigns, at this hour, in the square Ferdinand Brunot.

Be surprised to see the area reserved for children’s games, usually so lively, suddenly become so deserted.

Admire the play of lights through the already closed gates.

Guess the famous Montparnasse Tower in the distance.

To note that the statue of Marianne, which is enthroned in the middle of the garden, now finds itself alone to spend the night.

Take a few steps and distinguish the lights from the car lights reflected on the street signs.

To catch an insect hotel that serves its purpose for those hiding from the freezing cold.

Take the rue Pierre Castagnou on the right and discover the square from another angle. Take the opportunity to check that no one has remained locked inside, carried away by the charm of the place.

Take a few more steps in the greatest of silences and you will come to the Town Hall square. Stroll in front of the exhibition panels on the weeds that make resistance on the cobblestones of Paris.

Discover, from this side of the garden, the statue of Marianne who turns her back on the town hall while proudly enthroned among the palm trees.

Take a look at the side of the book box and make sure that the books are not going to take advantage of the night to take the powder.

Turning around and in an about-turn suddenly finding oneself in the light.

Appreciate the sobriety of the decorations that enhance the beautiful building.

Meet a few rare passers-by who stop to admire the fir trees.

See the square in a bright red Christmas bauble.

Feeling very small in front of the large, brightly lit building. Falling under the spell of the magic of Christmas, it’s evening and it’s cold. Deciding that the time has come to come back to warmth.
