Champs-Élysées and Arc de Triomphe, Paris

A straight-on shot looking up the Champs-Élysées towards the Arc de Triomphe, photographed on film in the 1970s. The boulevard is busy with period traffic — Renaults, Peugeots, and other French cars of the era fill multiple lanes in both directions. Two pedestrians are visible crossing the road mid-frame, giving a sense of the scale of the street.

Rows of mature plane trees line both sides of the boulevard, and the Arc de Triomphe sits centrally at the top of the frame, slightly softened by the hazy summer atmosphere. The image is taken from street level, giving it a natural, unposed feel rather than the elevated viewpoint more commonly seen in shots of this location.
