En France, la gendarmerie nationale est une force de police à statut militaire subordonnée au ministère de la Défense pour les missions militaires et sous tutelle du ministère de l'Intérieur pour les missions de police (la Police nationale dépend du ministère de l'Intérieur). Le numéro d'urgence de la gendarmerie est le même que celui de la police: le 17 ou le 112

Les gendarmes sont habituellement chargés du maintien de l'ordre dans les zones rurales et les zones dites « péri-urbaines », alors que la police nationale est chargée des zones urbaines. La limite de compétence entre les deux forces de police est fixée au seuil de 20.000 habitants.

I have had NO problems with taking photos of Police stations but please respect the fact that some services may be nervous about having their photo taken and inquire as to why... I have found that once things are explained they are more than happy to let me photograph the building, crest, chief... (they are people too!)
