The scene, which is ready to smile, shows a policeman chaining dance steps to the rhythm of music that escapes from the window of a resident filming the moment.

Despite the confinement and the concern that the coronavirus epidemic is hovering over France and the whole world, certain scenes from the life of French people who are confined to their homes are ready to smile.

This is particularly the case with this video posted on Twitter showing a policeman dancing in the streets of the 18th arrondissement of Paris to music that escapes from a nearby building and under the eyes of his amused colleague. For a few seconds, the police, dressed in their mask, began a few dance steps, filmed by a resident at her window.

The aim of this mobilization is to ensure "a control system" put in place by the police and which "rest on fixed and mobile control points" on the main and secondary axes. The army is not mobilized to control the streets.
