Safe and sound in Paris
The recent events have appeared in the press concerning the uprisings that are happening in a number of suburban communities outlying Frances' major cities, including Paris, Lyon, Marseille and Bordeaux. This is not the first time in France's history that these type of events have occurred, but unfortunately the press has exaggerated their extent.
The events are relatively isolated and are contained in the areas where these people live. There have been very few incidents reported within the cities of France, and the events have all been aimed at items such as parked cars and vacant buildings, in the middle of the night. Nobody has been attacked and none of the events occur during the day. These hoodlums do their vandalism in the middle of the night in the obscure suburban towns where they live.
Paris is still one of the safest cities in the world. The French police force does an outstanding job of maintaining a high level of security for all people in Paris, whether it be the residents of the city or the millions of visitors who come here each year. Rest assured that your stay will be uneventful and enjoyable.

I live in Paris and agree with Mr. Cooper that it is perfectly safe. The incidents are way out of the city and quite under control.

My husband and I visited Paris last week during the middle of the events mentioned by Glenn Cooper. We saw none of the things mentioned with enthusiasm by CNN and others. What we did see was one of the world's most interesting and beautiful cities going about its business. We never felt the least bit uncomfortable as we walked in the Luxembourg, visited the Musee D'Orsay and had dinner at the Grand Colbert. We'd go back tomorrow if we could.
