Looks like French soldiers also

Looking at the enlarged parts of the pic I would say they weren't the regular French Army. Additionally they looking very young. Judging by their clothes they were La Résistance insurgents . They aren't wearing the uniforms but the mix of the civilian and military outfits. At least two of them have the bands on their sleeves. Also a couple of them have scarves of the characteristic pattern for the Résistance on the necks. To sum up, the dressing of these young guys indicates thne fighters of the french resistance movment in 1944. IMHO somewhere in/near Paris.
