Gypsies. They are very much a part of Paris and their tactics change from year to year. I have been there when all they do is lie on the ground with a basket and a note asking for donations. Some years they are more aggressive. Do not get off into little side streets alone. You could be accosted by a group of small children with cardboard pieces. They will approach you from all sides and pin your arms down. Then they will grab your purse or camera and what ever else you have of value. It has never happened to me, but I have friends who have been attacked in such a way. Also, wear your camer and purse straps across your chest. Do not hang them off your shoulder. That makes it easy for some one to walk or run by and grab it from you. Also keep your purse and valuables in front of you with your hand on them. It's just simple precautions that will make your trip less stressful.
