Tours de Levallois are two office skyscrapers which have been approved to be built in Levallois-Perret, in the inner suburbs of Paris, France. The towers, which are planned to be delivered by 2009, will be 165 meter tall. They will be located above a 3-storey shopping mall under which will be built a car park with a capacity of 1,600 vehicles. The towers in themselves, of identical design, will be dedicated to host strictly corporate offices. The former buildings which used to occupy the land on which those towers will be built have been demolished during the month of September 2006. The preparation phase should start by March 2007, and the construction of the building in itself should have started in August 2007. Construction should have taken 3 years for a final delivery in 2010. In 2008 Mohamed Bin Issa Al Jaber was presented as the new investor behind the project. Construction was suspended in the following months due to payment delays. In February 2011 the city of Levallois was seeking new investors. It filed a complaint against Al Jaber, which resulted in Al Jaber's planning application to be revoqued. The land allocated to the project was then bought back by investment bank BNP Paribas, which intends to make offices instead of the towers.In September 2011, Levallois citizens were informed that a new project was scheduled: 2 skyscrapers in the town centre. A 134 meter tall tower near the Pont de Levallois metro station, and a 190m tower close to the Clichy-Levallois train station. Those buildings being far taller than the Levallois skyline, thousands of citizens are struggling against the project to avoid more traffic jams, pollution, noise, and all other problems induced. Levallois already has the highest population density in Europe and transports and roads are overcrowded.

The Compagnies républicaines de sécurité (French: [kɔ̃paɲi ʁepyblikɛn də sekyʁite], Republican Security Corps), abbreviated CRS, are the general reserve of the French National Police. They are primarily involved in general security missions but the task for which they are best known is crowd and riot control. There are 60 "general service" CRS companies, specialized in public order and crowd control, nine "motorway" companies (French: Compagnies autoroutières) specialized in highway patrol in urban areas and six "zonal" motorcycle units (one per Defense zone.) Two additional companies and several mountain detachments administratively attached to local companies specialize in Mountain Rescue. One company (CRS n°1) specializes in VIP escort. The National Police band is also a CRS unit.Some of the CRS officers from the "general service" compagnies are cross trained and serve as lifeguards on the beaches during the summer vacations. The expression "les CRS" refers to the whole force. The feminine singular "une CRS" means a company (the noun compagnie is feminine), but the masculine singular "un CRS" is often used to mean "a CRS man"; the press and laypeople frequently use "CRS" to mean any policeman in riot gear and wearing a helmet, whether he is a true CRS or a policeman or a gendarme mobile. The form "trois CRS" in theory means three companies, but is often used to mean three men.
