M = Marinette, H = Henri

M   We didn’t know that our picture was so famous until thirty years later. One day I was working in the café when the man from the book shop next door came in. He was holding a new book which had a photo on the cover. Suddenly I said, ‘I don’t believe it! That’s Henri and I when we were very young!’ I remember that afternoon at the Bastille very well. When the man took that photo we were arguing! ‘Henri, don’t stand so near me, there is somebody behind us.’

H   We didn’t know that the photographer was taking a photo of us. We were arguing. I can’t remember exactly what we were arguing about. I think I was trying to kiss Marinette and she didn’t want to. Or I think maybe we were arguing about our wedding – we got married a few months after the man took the photo.

M   People who know this photo always think of us as the eternal lovers, like Romeo and Juliet. But life isn’t like that. It’s very difficult to stay in love when you see your husband every day at home and you see him every day at work too. And I’m very hard-working but Henri is still a dreamer. Ah, those were the days …
