Gards

The Republican Guard (French: Garde républicaine) also called the gards of the President is the ceremonial unit of the French Gendarmerie. In the heart of Paris, next to the Bastille the Caserne des Célestins built in 1895-1901 lodges the cavalery, its Fanfare and around 550 horses. I went insight photoraphing the daily life of the Fanfare.
