  • Many people have posted warnings already about the finger-threaders of Paris. I wanted to add a few comments and post a picture of these annoying men. These guys approach you with thread and ask for a little of your time. They then wind string around your finger, making a "ring" for you. They then will not let you go until you give them some money for their artwork. They are very aggressive and do not take "no" for an answer. Beware these individuals on the steps approaching Sacré-Cœur as well as in the vicinity of the Louvre.
