Last month revealed a significant increase in Parisian police presence (complete with automatic firearms) and the Eiffel tower now has security screening like an airport, so I would expect a decrease in the string predators. I think you are fortunate to avoid such nonsense (stoma ding), but I suspect that if you have a white European appearance, you are less likely to be targeted than an Asian European | |
