See you in the Tuileries UPDATE II: Avenue Foch !)

• 

There’s a lot you can tell from a photo like this. No, not about what happens after the guy finished chatting up the girl. What we mean is that the license plate tells us that this fine-looking 1929 Cadillac is on trade plates issued in the first arrondissment of Paris. You know, the Louvre, Rue de Rivoli and of course le Jardin des Tuileries . A great place for meeting a girlfriend, although we hate to think that this is only a set-up for a commercial.

Update II by Anthony Green: "I guess it's the car that's important, but there's no way the photo could have been taken either in the Tuileries or the Champs de Mars, which are both manicured layouts without any through traffic. Judging by the lady's footwear, she's somewhere in town, and my best guess is Avenue Foch - a very leafy and expensive avenue leading from the Etoile down to the Bois de Boulogne. As said, not really the real quiz item, but would like to attempt to set the record straight."
Update I: ooops, a sleeping photo editor (JB) added the wrong photo behind a link. Happily two French readers, Thierry 'Voisin' Auffret and Philippe Becret warned us. Philippe: "Your photo corresponding to "Champ de Mars" taken from Tour Eiffel !! Jardins des Tuilleries can't be crossed by car even in 1928."
