Jardin des Tuileries (Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel)
In the story · Photo-shoot montage: balloons in the rain
Dick Avery photographs Jo, laughing under a cloud of coloured balloons in the rain, with Napoleon's little pink-marble arch behind her. The arch and the gravel esplanade between the Louvre wings and the Tuileries look exactly as they did in 1956.

Stand west of the arch inside the Tuileries gate and centre it, letting the Louvre's Pavillon de l'Horloge fill the opening; a rainy day with an umbrella is truest to the film.
