Is it safe to walk around Paris at night?

Responds the information department of the "Subtlety of Tourism"
In the discussion of the safety of night walks around Paris, most tourists show astonishing unanimity. They unanimously affirm that unless one walks alone in remote parts of the city from the center and in the low-lighted neighborhoods, nothing terrible will happen.

Montmartre is usually referred to the areas in which it is possible to get involved in unpleasant incidents, with the northern part of the hill and the boulevard Pigalle, the neighborhood of the North and West stations, as well as the metro station Chapelle, Stalingrad and those on the border with the suburbs of the capital (Clichy, Orleans, etc.)

There are many temperamental and noisy Africans, Parisians, pickpockets and scammers. And, if you are brought to these areas, it is worthwhile to behave correctly and calmly, without provoking conflict situations. Of course, it is not recommended to advertise expensive equipment and money, girls should not wear heels and calling clothes.

And it's best to choose for a romantic night walk Latin Quarter, the top of Montmartre, the Champs Elysees, the Big Boulevards or organized guided tours.
