No idea where this one is taken but the chap in the foreground seems to be waving his hand about, as if trying to clear the way for the car. Some interesting restaurants: Le Poulailler (The Henhouse), Chez Ma Cousine, (My cousin's), Vieux Chalet (the old mountain house??). Could it be Saint Germain des Pres?Comment

Interesting to note that the 'eternal flame' at the tomb of the unknown soldier is not lit during two three of the pictures.
Also interesting that the enormous French flag that flies 'inside' the Arch de Triumph is 'misssing' in all of the pictures.
There is that old joke -- Question: Why the Germans insist on trees being planted on both sides of the Champs Ulysses?
Answer: Because the Germans like to 'march in the shade'...........
Occupation by a foriegn power like that must have been horrible on one's psyche.Comment

Cars (and motorcycles) with WH plates would not have the WH stencil!
In other words the vehicle is of civilian origin and was requisitioned for military use, which was very common!Comment
