Problems in Paris

paris street Paris is a beautiful city with lots of culture and history. Yet, there are a few things to be aware of while roaming the streets. First of all, keep all of your belongings extremely close. Paris has many pickpockets wandering around looking for careless tourists. Please remember to not let yourself look vulnerable and out of place. If a local French person is talking to you and asking you many questions, be aware! He or she could be trying to keep your attention while his or her friend is stealing your wallet without you even noticing.

Another thing to watch out for are the drivers. Paris is a large city with constant traffic, and I’m pretty sure the pedestrians don’t have the right-of-way. I can’t even count how many times I was almost hit by a French driver with road rage.
