Carlton Hotel. Cannes 1953. Car: Citroën Traction Avant

The grand Belle Époque facade of the Carlton Hotel in Cannes provides an elegant backdrop to a bustling street scene in 1953. Below the hotel's ornate stonework and shuttered windows, a gendarme directs a stream of vintage automobiles, among them a dark Citroën Traction Avant. The French tricolor flies above the columned entrance on a bright day, capturing the atmosphere of the luxurious Riviera location.
