  • BEWARE on the Metro. Pickpockets and theives have reached epidemic proportions. I was pickpocketed from a deep front pants pocket. They target families with someone causing a distraction, usually involving one of your kids. You of course are worried about them and the accomlice strikes. Also, women, don't use purses with thin straps, don't open your purse in a crowd. Money belts are a must. Leave as much as you can in your hotel or apartment. However, that said the Metro is the best way to travel around Paris.
