I think it’s the subway entrance leading to the RER (not the Metro, although perhaps it was back then) station called Auber, on the corner of rue Auber and rue Scribe. Above the man’s left shoulder there are two blue street name signs on the wall. I can’t make out the names at the low resolution of the photo. But above his right shoulder is a bus stop and you can make out the name of the stop - Opera - which is near rue Auber. There is still an Olympic Airways office listed at 3, rue Auber although the building now appears to be a Museum (but probably just a shop with prétentions) of Perfume. A bit of hunting with Google Maps shows the two street name plates at the corner of rues Auber and Scribe, and at ap event level is a subway entrance with decorative railings that match your photo. The bus stop is no longer there, but there is one called Opera nearby.

p.s. I think it’s a very atmospheric photo, like a still from a Nouvelle Vague film. > On 28 Mar 2025, at 17:31, Bob W PDML <pdmlbw@icloud.com> wrote: > > I think it’s the subway entrance leading to the RER (not the Metro, although perhaps it was back then) station called Auber, on the corner of rue Auber and rue Scribe. > > Above the man’s left shoulder there are two blue street name signs on the wall.

Bob - hehe  - I could have just sent the photo to you , of course - but maybe others would have been familliar .  scroll right and you get my black and white conversion.. so even more of the atmosphere you note in the other response . It was the look on the guy's face that struck me.. I think I was working on capturing the art nuveau stuff and he appeared.. I was shooting manual with my Kx. I had it in my mind it was near /l'Opera.. /but didn't trust my memory.  I think the line I took from the place I was staying on the Rue St Jacques was an RER train.. to get to the right bank...long long ago. ann On 3/28/2025 1:31 PM, Bob W PDML wrote: > I think it’s the subway entrance leading to the RER (not the Metro, although perhaps it was back then) station called Auber, on the corner of rue Auber and rue Scribe. > > Above the man’s left shoulder there are two blue street name signs on the wall.
