Shot on 8mm film in 1947, this vintage clip captures three men on a stone sea wall in Paris, France. Two stand holding long fishing rods, dressed in heavy coats and hats typical of the era, while a third sits nearby smoking a cigarette. The black-and-white footage shows a quiet, contemplative moment by the water, with natural light and visible film grain enhancing its authentic, nostalgic feel. This archival home movie offers a candid glimpse into mid-century leisure and daily life.
