  • Caution is the key here. Like any big city, you should use common sense and try to avoid any area which is dark, isolated and free of alot of traffic. Be aware of your sorroundings and always have your money in a safe place (money belt, bra?). What I usually do is know exactly where I am going, how to get there and if I am taking the metro in a secluded area, have my ticket in hand. Pickpocketers are found in every major city, so being alert is your best bet. Leave expensive jewelry at home and never carry more money then you need. Leave your passport and extra cash and travelers checks at the hotel safe. If you are staying at a hostel, I would recommend that you carry your important belongings in a seperate small bag, pack or shoulder bag. Make sure you have copies of your passport and numbers of travelers checks (if you carry these) in a seperate location for just in case they are lost or stolen. The number to your local consulate is a good idea as well as is the phone number to the local authorities.

     Hi Janet, it was great to meet you here in Frankfurt last April! I've just been reading the fine new tips & updates that you have added to your Paris page since I last looked on February 27. I haven't been to Paris this year yet, sniff. Maybe in December.

     Janet, Paris is loveliest in May and every other month as well. Seeing your photos reminded me of the #1 gourmet dinner of all time I enjoyed at les Ambassadeurs au Crillon. oh mon dieu! Fantastique!
