Back in Paris

Back in Paris I got to see some more of the French lifestyle. Somehow I lost the photos I had taken earier of the Notre Dame Cathedral so Cindy and I went back briefly. I noticed that there were a lot of gendarmes in a different uniform, wearing a soldier's cap instead of their usual képis. Then we saw that there was a demonstration in progress. Didn't think much of it, seemed rather peaceful being in the centre of town and all. But later when we came out of a shop we saw clouds of black smoke and decided that we should walk in the opposite direction. Cindy said that they probably hadn't overturned any cars yet, that they were probably just burning a few old tyres (as you do) but it seemed better to steer clear all the same.
