However, just like all big cities Paris does have some safety advice that tourists and travelers should know. From pickpockets to metro ettiquette to scams these are safety issues travelers need to pay attention to when they are in Paris, France.

Every point that Mark makes in this video is SPOT ON. I just returned to the US from Paris and, as a solo female traveler in Paris, I never felt unsafe. And I can confirm that the traffic is indeed CRAZY in Paris but, thankfully, I did not need to rent a car there. Public transportation worked very well for my needs. Just take note of the tips in this video and enjoy your trip!

@kueller917 2 года назад

As a resident this is good. Honestly while parts of the north can get real sketchy at night I still do find the most annoyances to be the tourist areas. It's almost a relief sometimes when getting back to the 10th from Opera or Notre Dame cause no one bothers me up here with scams etc. Use zippers for important things but also try to dress less like a tourist. They gravitate towards tourist-y looking people. This I find generally true for most cities.

@marcoprolo2299 2 года назад

Basic travel advice. Make sure your valuables/passport are in an inside pocket, preferably zipped. Just keep the minimum cash and immediately required tickets in external pockets. But that's true everywhere in the world unless you are asking for troubles.

Watch out for African men in the Metro.Five of them surrounded me in a train,tried to intimidate me and grabbed at my luggage as they left the train. I was 115kg back then and my grip was too strong.The following day the terrorist attack occurred and most of Paris closed down for three days.

@DK-vn7lr 2 года назад

Great advice! I knew these things before my trip to Paris and I still got picked on the metro leaving Musée d'Orsay. I was so concerned with being on the right train I asked a guy for advice, while he kept me occupied his partner helped himself to my phone. I knew what had happened as they just beat the closing doors🤦‍♂️. On my visit to Versailles the tour groups were so bad we had to leave before I got in a fight with someone. I still love Paris though😉

I would just like to add with the issue of luggage, it is also very difficult to bring too much because the stations generally do not have escalators or elevators or such do not go all the way up or down. If you have mobility or age issues, it will be very difficult to carry all your bags up and down. :)

Also, back up your phone, activate location finding and add a passcode. Phone theft happens in Paris, if you leave your phone on the table unattended or what not. I should add that all of that is happening a lot less or not at all in other smaller cities in France like Nancy, Biarritz, etc.

@thegeneral123 2 года назад

Oh and just to add, personally I'd never use a hotel room safe. They're basically worthless. Pretty much only staff have access to your room and they all know the override code to the safe if they have any ill intentions. Don't just leave valuables in easy grab view but the best thing to do is use a Pacsafe portable safe and sturdy padlock that uses a key, not a combo. Then throw the nickable items into that, attach to a solid object like a radiator and don't worry any more. You can also buy a Pacsafe exomesh cover to go over a bag and do the same. I've got both. No I don't work for Pacsafe and I have no relationship with them. Don't cheap out on padlocks either. It's unlikely anyone is going to try to pick a lock in your hotel room, the staff are looking for an easy score but don't use a nasty cheap one that can be low skill bypassed with a simple rake attack with a cheap pick or shimmed with a coke can. A moderately priced Abus padlock is fine.

@maciejnowak2768 2 года назад

Some parts in Paris aren't safe, for example; Saint Denis, Gare du Nord, Gare de l’Est, Porte de Clignancourt, Porte de Clichy... and 18 and 19 districts of Paris. Whole Paris is usually safe. If you are in the wrong place and in a a wrong time, you will feel it. Sometimes its better to make some steps back to be safe throughout whole your visit in Paris :)

I spent several years on active duty & traveled to more places than I can remember including Paris. I'm also born & raised in Chicago, I currently live in the DC area & work in downtown DC. Here's the thing people need to know, other than language cities like Paris, Naples, Berlin or ANY medium or large city in Europe aren't any different than their counterparts in the US. You have areas of these cities that are at all different levels of safety from high to low & the exact same precautions need to be taken. I never once felt unsafe other than when I was in Istanbul where it was a little more sketchy.

@charlesm.hernandez264 2 года назад

@kenyattaclay7666 2 года назад

@@charlesm.hernandez264 first let me point out that I’m from the south side of Chicago & grew up there when crime & murder rates were 3x what they are now. To add to that I went to grade school which at that time was in one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the city & it was right across the street from one of the most infamous housing projects in the city so when I say sketchy I’m not over stating it & know what sketchy is. Second, I was there in the summer of 95 while I was in the military & when the first thing you see is armed military personnel walking around downtown areas they aren’t there just for their health. You don’t have that in Chicago or DC for that matter. We also were given hazardous duty pay for being there because it wasn’t the safest place to be.

@Linus From what I can tell there are no requirements for any Covid related protocols. This doesn’t stop individual organizations from requiring Covid protocols.

My country has a Travel advisory out for France because of terrorism and civil unrest. You touched on the unrest and the advice was just avoid it. What about the terror? Is that just part of staying out of the wrong neighbourhood? Or is that a serious concern at popular tourist locations?

Where do you live? Last attacks were 2015 so I dont think its a real concern.

@@MrDingez Canada. Didn't that priest get decapitated in the street more recently than that? Obviously not targeting tourism or the general public but still an act of terror in my estimation. Of course, the advisory could just be about the yellow vest protests and the category is "terrorism and civil unrest"

The thing to do about the bracelet scame is to buy a fake hand with an arm bone sticking out at a halloween store. Wear a long sleeve jacket and hold the fake hand and let one of those scammers grab it. Fun!
