I was in Paris once with my sister and 3yo nephew. He fell asleep, almost walknig along, so my sister lay him on some grass next to a bench, and was ordered to remove him buy some jumped up official uin a uniform as there was NO WALKING ON THE GRASS.
My sisters French is quite good, and she argued her case quite well, telling jumped up official, if he wanted the child moved, to move him himself. It all got quite heated.
