From DeWiki > Benches in Alsace
Story
On market days, the farmers carried their goods in baskets or huts to the markets in the surrounding towns. To take a short rest, they sat down on benches and set down their goods. Trees planted near the benches provided shade.
There are two types of benches in Alsace:
those built in 1811/12, named after the Roi de Rome
those built in 1854, named after the Empress Eugénie
"Bancs-reposoirs du Roi de Rome"
