Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Visiting Paris. DESCRIPTION: The Shah of Iran was beginning his three day state visit to France. Here, he is seen in conversation with President de Gaulle. Meanwhile, for Queen Farah, an early engagement was a visit to a Paris Kindergarten. A reception at the Elysee was a more formal occasion. There were over a thousand guests.
