EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of camaraderie and celebration as French Girl Guides proudly march down the iconic Champs-Élysées in Paris on St. Georges Day, 1945. With the Arc de Triomphe standing tall in the background, over 30,000 guides, dressed in their distinctive uniforms and carrying their flags, make their way from the Place de l'Étoile to the Concorde.

The parade marked a significant moment in the history of French Girl Guides, reflecting the resilience and determination of the organization during the challenging times of the 1940s. The girls' faces are filled with pride and determination, as they take part in this grand procession through the heart of the city.
