la Garde Républicaine

As Mary and I were having a look at the beautiful library at the Institut de France, I glanced out of the window and was stopped in my tracks.  The Republican Guard was parading by below in the pouring rain. I had already been told no photos in the library which I understood, but decided to press my lens against the window and get a few shots, in hopes that no one heard the clicks.

Good girl—and great shot! That's why I've turned the sound off on my camera. :~}

The Republican Guard is quite a sight. They're out more often than one would imagine.
We've seen them twice on this visit.
