''Le Gendarme en balade'' (''The Gendarme to Stroll'') is a 1970 French comedy film starring Creator/LouisDeFunes. This is the fourth installment of ''Film/{{Le Gendarme|DeSaintTropez}}'' series. The gendarmes are forced into retirement to make way for a younger breed, and they don't react very well to it. Even so, when they learn that one of them has had an accident and has become amnesiac, they reunite to help him get his memory back.
