Kiss in front of city hall

Have you seen this charming photo "Kiss in front of City Hall"? In the photo, the young couple used their passionate kiss in front of the Paris City Hall to perfectly explain the charming French romance to the whole east and west world.

1950, French photographer Robert? Du Wanuo fixed this touching scene on this black-and-white photo of the Parisian street forever. It is this original photo with my signature that has been treasured for more than half a century. On April 25th last year, it was auctioned in Paris at a sky-high price155,000 euros (about 2 10/00,000 yen) 10 times higher than the expected price.

It is said that the American photography magazine Life proposed to take some photos reflecting the amorous feelings of young couples in Paris. Robert, the photographer he commissioned, successfully photographed the lovers who forgot their existence and were intoxicated by the kiss on the streets of Paris. Later, Robert admitted that after discovering the kissing couple, he deliberately asked them to re-position and let him record this touching moment.

This photo was later buried in the warehouse of a photography agency for more than 30 years. 1986, this photo was exposed again and made into a poster, which became popular all over the world. It was reprinted and sold more than 4 10000 copies.

It's a pity that the two main characters in the photo-francoise, she is a student of acting school? Bonn and her boyfriend Jacques? Calteau later chose different life paths. Calteau grows grapes in the south of France, while Bourne and her husband run a film company.

Sighing only sighs that lovers in the world can't get married, but it's the fly in the ointment of Paris kiss …
