Place des Vosges, Paris 4e

As goes the song by Georges Brassens:
Les amoureux qui s'bécotent sur les bancs publics,
Bancs publics, bancs publics,
En s'foutant pas mal du r'gard oblique
Des passants honnêtes,
Les amoureux qui s'bécotent sur les bancs publics,
Bancs publics, bancs publics,
En s'disant des "Je t'aim'" pathétiques,
Ont des p'tits gueul's bien sympathiques!
