It bears the caption "Jerusalem Famille Juive" -- a Jewish family in Jerusalem.
From their dress, we presume it is a Sabbath or Jewish holiday, and some of the shops are shuttered in mid-day. Their walking in the middle of the street suggests that they're in a Jewish neighborhood and are not worried about carriages or horses. And they're walking down an incline.

Over the course of 100 years buildings have been torn down, second stories added, and streets widened.
Are they walking down Jaffa Road toward the Old City? We checked, and the store on the right is not the Ma'ayan Shtub shop.
Perhaps they're walking through the Romema neighborhood on Malchei Yisrael Street toward Meah Shearim and the Old City beyond. Thanks to Google's Street View program, we offer the possibility that the building is this shop with the distinctive rounded window and the two story building behind it with the unusual stonework on the edge of the walls.

My guess, without checking, is David Street in the Bukharain neighborhood.
