Paris liberated
Description
On a busy street corner outside a restaurant in Paris, the city's liberation on 25 August 1944 has stimulated a bout of activity in the streets. The Gendarmes are giving directions to foreign troops as Parisian cyclists including priests, women and children and are again freely occupying the streets of Paris.
