Timeline
18:07
Linger over a coffee at Café de Grancy. It is open late enough that you can start here comfortably before the light fades, and it is close enough to keep the walk short.
18:32
Walk to Parc de Milan. The park is the anchor for this view, positioned perfectly to catch the sun setting toward the WSW.
18:47
Watch the sunset. The sun dips below the horizon at 18:47, casting long shadows across the park and the lake beyond.
19:07
End the evening back at Café de Grancy. The terrace is insulated from traffic, making it a pleasant spot to digest the view with a nightcap.
