Walking the Streets
In related news, I was intending to post this earlier: on our way back from dinner on our first night in Paris, we happened to encounter a 6-man French military squad (I’m not sure which branch) patrolling the streets. Green camo fatigues and (actual) assault rifles. They were not unfriendly, but didn’t say much; just went about their business. Similar soldiers at Versailles and the Louvre, and at the train stations too.
