Robert Doisneau was a very famous French photographer known to excel in capturing Parisian street life, romantism and love.
Among his most recognizable work is Le Baiser de l’Hôtel de Ville (Kiss by the Hôtel de Ville), a photo of a couple kissing in the busy streets of Paris. Who the couple were, was a mystery until in 1993 Denise and Jean-Louis Lavergne took Doisneau to court for taking the picture without their knowledge. This action forced Doisneau to admit that he actually posed the shot in 1950 using the lady and her boyfriend.

All in all Paris was one of the favorite photographic subjects of Doisneau.
But more than anything, this photo symbolizes spontaneous acts of love and cement, that Paris is the city of romance.
Doisneau took the snapshot of lust, in 1950, as part of a series on young love in Paris, for LIFE magazine.
This photo definitely perpetuates the fact that Paris is the city of love and romantism.
