Safety
To spend a quite calm and safe stay don’t tempt fate or pickpockets! Have your wits about you in order to avoid any unpleasant surprises: don’t keep wallets in your back trouser pocket, keep bags safely closed, make sure you don’t leave your mobile phones lying around. Be wary if you are approached by individuals offering their services, choose instead to visit the official sales point. Find here all safety advice, the list of police stations and the “Préfecture de Police”.
Vigipirate security measuresInstalled by the Paris city council to increase security against terrorism, the Vigipirate plan requires the participation of all citizens, in particular to report any abandoned luggage or package. Unidentified packages may be destroyed by the police. When the Vigipirate plan is announced, public litter containers are sealed, left-luggage services in stations and airports are unavailable, checks at the entrance of public buildings and tourist sites are reinforced, and cloakrooms and lockers in museums and monuments may be closed.
