  • At Eiffel Tower, the street sellers all selling keyrings and follow you around. I was very firm and said no. But i saw one man chasing a family waving his keyrings!

    At Sacre Couer, it was worse. They had plastic bracelets like you wear at infant school! Unbelievable. The gendarms should come down and clear up these sort of people

    Just say no very loudly and try to avoid eye contact beforehand - prevention is better than cure
