How safe is Paris for women?
Common sense should be your guide when traveling anywhere. Paris is considered a safe destination and generally, European cities are safer than American cities. The most common menace in Paris are pickpockets who prey on ‘easy targets.’ You can easily shield yourself from this by carrying an across-the-shoulder bag, and keeping your valuables out of sight and close to your body. The odd drageur, a man who professes his undying love to female passersby, and the threat they pose is one of annoyance or amusement more than anything.
