Just after we crossed the Seine, we saw a contingent of cavalry coming down the street, so we paused for a photo. It appeared to be a mounted brass band, with each rider carrying a trumpet or sousaphone or other brass instrument. As the horses passed us, we noted that each horse had a checkerboard pattern shaved into the hair on its flank.
