The French interior ministry has suspended three policemen who are alleged to have made Nazi-style salutes in a bar and shouted racist insults.
French Interior Minister Michele Alliot-Marie called it "intolerable" behaviour that "totally contradicts police ethics".
The men - in plain clothes and accompanied by two others - allegedly shouted "Sieg Heil!"
The incident happened in the northern town of Amiens last Friday.
The bar owner reported their behaviour to police authorities.
