This picture was captioned "Do it yourself" in 1966.

Well, hardly anyone could have imagined back then that fifty years later a parking space could cost five francs (or euros) per hour and that the inspectors would not only constantly remember the position of the car, but could also return every 15-30 minutes to finally issue the fine. Hardly anyone would try to argue with "self-defense" today...
