- With exception of the both «VIP suburbs» Versailles and Fontainebleau, tourists have no business to be in the whole banlieue around Paris! Criminality governs these areas and your merely existence may be interpreted disastrously as provocation.
- Do not leave your luggage unintentionaly, above all not in the métro. Each bag to which no owner can be attached short-termly will be blasted for safety reasons! A radical but obviously effective preventive measure against bomb attacks of the international terrorism.
