Daily pic #00033: Mobile Gendarmerie
The French Mobile Gendarmerie in action
The Gendarmerie Mobile is a subdivision of the French Gendarmerie, used mostly in riot-control. The guys on the picture are making sure that the law abiding Parisians and the clueless tourists do not come in contact with the traditional annual National Front "Jeanne d'Arc" rally, which you can see in the background.
