Something I'll never forget seeing (which I didn't really understand at the time)...in the 1980s there was a big student demonstration in the Boulevard St Michel, and some windows got smashed. Some of the demonstrators (all in motorbike helmets) posted themselves as guards outside the shops to stop them getting looted.
I ended up stuck in one of the huge Union protests in 2009. It was like the Carnival but with banners. The detour meant I got lost and discovered Hefeeld's Pub (only me) 5 Euro for almost a pint. Bargain.
Every now and again a group of marchers would come in for a beer and a smoke then march off again. Was very civilized.
I walked from Gare Du Nord to the Arc De Tri, then to the Eiffel Tower did a seine cruise then found the pub on the way to Lycee Montmartre which I arrived at steaming. The best way to see Paris forget the Metro.

Fair play. After watching four series of Spiral, I’ve decided that at some point I am definitely signing up to be a copper in Paris. They give you a gun, you get an orange arm band to pop on your jacket and you can just drive round Paris all day in a Renault before heading back to the station, drinking beer and casually assaulting whoever happens to be in custody. You also get to tamper with evidence and lie habitually. And no-one cares if you shout “Putain!” all the time, and that’s one of my favourite words. I’m not going to wear a leather jacket, though. It’s gonna be mental.

Spiral is one of my favourite series. I have 1-3 on DVD I haven't seen 4 yet.

You know you have to have the leather jacket. otherwise no Gauloises, no Renault Fuego, and no undertaking on the periferique.
BTW does paris shut down once a week for car chases or something?
A magnificent football club, the love of our lives, finding a way to finally have its day in the sun.

Well, I think we have a problem then because there’s no way I’m wearing a leather jacket. And I’m not smoking either. Can I not just wear a nice anorak and eat a lot of crisps instead? We could put it down to English eccentricity.
I think the other lady (Caroline Proust sp) is 50+, fair play to her she looks amazing.
I love how seedy and fooked up everyone is, no one is the good guy even the judge.
I’m not seedy or fu cked-up, but I am fully prepared to lie, tamper with evidence, spend all day sat in a Renault parked up outside a café and occasionally run around with a gun. On the down side, I’m a bit squeamish, I can’t drive and I don’t speak French. But let's not focus on the negatives- I think I'm make a great Parisian copper.
And yes, Caroline Proust is much better-looking than the average copper I see round town.

Il est un rosbif bizarre cet Inspecteur Quonque.

There is a great scene in Les Ripoux where the police are driving around Paris and the enthusiastic young cop wants to start arresting people for every minor offence, and the older cop has to explain to him that if they enforced all the minor laws they would soon be at war with society.
