Winter with a young couple standing next to an oil heater in Cafe Le Conti, rue de Buci, St-Germain-des-Pres, 6e arrondissement, Left Bank, Paris, France, circa 1963. In cold weather, cafe heaters were much sought after as the favoured place to sit or stand by, warming one's hands or one's back. If it was very cold and a customer could not get near a cafe heater, it meant moving on to another cafe where one could get a place by a heater.
