In the office of Poncelet

He is maybe the French leader who had received Chinese delegations the most.
I do not remember how many times we had shot “round table” images in his office when he met Chinese officers, ministers etc.

1/ They are policemen, not army;
2/ From 01/01/2005, all the police had changed their decorations and logos on their uniforms
3/ From 13/10/2004, all the Chinese ‘pusse-pusse’ had changed unanimously the curtain with the traditional blue, red and green colors, while not the blue ones your can see in the picture.

The Olympic Flame is the symbol of peace, not violence
