Quick! What do you consider signs of spring? Crocuses and forsythia in bud? Blue skies and a sun that actually feels warm? Wool exchanged for poplin overcoats?
How about your friendly neighborhood cops on roller skates? I've seen the police on bikes, on horseback, and even on Segways but this was a first for me. The nice weather clearly had everyone in a good mood as this trio had pulled out a copy of Paris Par Arrondissement to help a lost soul find his destination.

"friendly neighborhood cops"
What an oxymoron...
(roller cops have been around for about 15-20 years, I'm quite surprised you saw them for the first time)
well I think it's very cool...great workout..
Neat!
I didn't see them when we stayed on Ile de la Cite last year. However, we did see the daily mounted police force go past our window. Our son is going to stop off in Paris for a few days before joining us in Antibes this May. I've been busy sending him info on Paris!
I didn't see them on my visit last year either.. think it is brilliant!
I've seen them several times at les Halles.
That's quite interesting. I've never seen anything like that here in Toronto. I'm not sure how practical it is. I think if you were being chased by them it would be easy to get away by just walking down a set of stairs. Bicycle patrol makes more sense to me.
