Martigues 1954.

In the sunlit streets of Martigues in 1954, daily life unfolds under a complex network of overhead wires. A large, faded advertisement for St. Raphaël Quinquina aperitif dominates a weathered corner building that also houses the Lyre Bar and a tobacconist. Pedestrians, including a man pushing a bicycle and others in jackets and berets, move past a parked Citroën Traction Avant. The strong sunlight casts sharp shadows, while laundry hangs from the open, shuttered windows of nearby apartments.
