  • You will see beggars in the streets of Paris and sometimes gypsies too. On my first visit in winter 1984, we were surrounded by a large group of gypsy children begging for money. We managed to escape and did not have anything stolen.

    I am not too much bothered by these people. Sometimes I drop a coin for a beggar and in general just use common sense and keep my stuff well guarded.

    So this is not a warning against beggars or gypsies, but rather a warning to you to be careful with your things and be sensible.

     Ah Paris! Congratulations to climb up la Tour Eiffel on foot ;-) What? Nobody in Les Champs Elysées and around Le Louvre, just need to wait the next finals with France. Merci for your useful tips to prepare for my next Paris trip ;-)

     I never knew it was possible to sleep at Shakespeare & Co. Have you done it? And if so, what is your book about?
