The term "public place" refers to airways station, airports etc... Probably a french lawyer coul clarify this point. I remember that a couple of years ago, I made a video report on the homeless in a raiways station in Lyon. I asked to the police in the station, and they answered "no problem... but be carefull" and showed a couple of guy that would not be happy to be interviewed ;=) Of course, the law applies to publication, not taking picture of a monument. I think that the publisher is responsible, and not the photographer. But I'm not a lawyer!! Best regards, Laurent. Does the term "public place" apply that broadly in the law you describe, or is there a narrower definition (like airports and train stations) that would still allow me to take a picture of my family standing in front of the Eiffel Tower? Does the prohibition on photography apply to the taking of the photographs, or just to the publication of them (as distinguished from making prints for a personal scrapbook, etc?) /\_/\ (0 0) _____________ oOO--(_)--OOo_____________ Laurent SAMINADAYAR CNRS/CRTBT B.
