    Ah! «Louis’» knows about le 2 ème Blindé of Général le Clerc in World War II, too!

    Sad that they would be needed, but I have to admire any of the brave men and women who put themselves on the front lines of trouble and danger.

    So this is a "national" group...kind of like a French "Swat" team?

    Don't think I'd argue with that tank no matter what!

    And please fill your refrigerator...you can't work well on an empty stomach! ;-)

    It's good to know they are there, if ever needed.

    This reminds me, I've always wanted to ask this of someone who would know, but have never had the chance. When I was in Paris last summer, I took a picture of some policemen standing on the street. One of them saw me, and was VERY firm telling me no, and I had to erase the picture. Did I do a stupid tourist thing - are you not allowed to take pictures of police in France?
    Anyway, I'm blabbing. Your picture is interesting!!

    This is very interesting, I guess Satory is the place of Eurosatory? Be ready for mid June!
    I have never realized before that it was a suburb of Versailles...

    French is such a beautiful language. Gendarmerie sounds so lyrical. :-)

    Very fancy word for policemen. However, their department building could be just about anywhere.

    Not my favorite subject lol but it's necessary though I would prefer to see these kind of heavy vehicles hidden from the public.

    I think it would be unwise to attract the attention of the Gendarmerie officer driving the tank!
