Otherwise, L\u00e9pine is known for introducing the white stick for directing traffic. He established the river-boat brigade, police bicycle units, and installed police and fire warning boxes. He originated the Mus\u00e9e de la Pr\u00e9fecture de Police<\/strong><\/a>, dealt with the 1910 Paris flood<\/strong> and the theft of Mona Lisa<\/strong>, captured and killed the anarchist, Jules Bonnot.<\/p>\n

Caveat Emptor<\/strong>
\nBeware of purchasing certain items at the Foire de Paris. You may not have any service after purchase.<\/p>\n

This particular stand “Alain Bourguignon” is working under the name of Mondial Magie. I have a solar charger whose product does not work 100% of the time with their cables or mine.

I will have to wait until next year to take it in for a check up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
