Et la phrase contenant l'expression:
"The roads outside the conference centre are lined with the ***usual suspects***: polar bears, anarchists, drummers and giant wicker tree-huggers. But right outside the entrance to the meeting halls, drawing the biggest crowds, the more unusual site of ten (though it felt like eleven) life-size figures made of solid ice."
Merci d'avance

Comment: "J'ai beaucoup hésité entre "les habitués", "la panoplie habituelle" et "les incontournables" mais comme il faut bien trancher (et que je dois rendre ma traduction !) j'ai finalement choisi cette proposition.
Merci à tous!"
