And people wonder why I’ll never visit France.

Isn't Le Louvre a living and breathing museum that can get with the times? Just needs to switch out some old renaissance stuff for the new...

My B.I.L. had his wallet stolen on the Paris subway.

Interestingly, the French cops recovered it with the money still in it. They turned it over to the American Embassy.

Gypsys, tramps, and thieves
We’d hear it from the people of the town
They’d call us Gypsys, tramps, and thieves
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down

My guess: Gypsies. It sounds like their M.O. by having children along for the ride.

I’m glad that I visited Paris when it was still relatively safe, and unpolluted by human detritus.

I’ve been to Paris many times since I work for a French company. I have only been accosted by a pickpocket once.

The event occurred when I stupidly attempted to negotiate the subway with luggage with both hands full. RULE 1: Always have one hand free!

Fortunately, I recognized the attack when one guy rolled a coin on the floor impeding my path right after I entered the coach. I immediately dropped my bags and pushed the guy down the guy in front. I then slapped my hand OVER the hand in my back pocket. I did not release until I was yelling so that everyone would be watching as the guy removed his hand, empty. I turned on the guy behind me and he tried to act innocent. I then pushed him out of the car by popping him in the chest with both hands just before the doors closed. A non-uniformed policeman with a hand radio ran up and asked me if I was O.K through the window before the train pulled away. I told him I had everything. Meanwhile, my son watched the guy in front exit the car from another door.

Aside from that, I had not been accosted in Paris. Most of the thefts reported by my colleagues have occurred in Milan. One guy I was traveling with in Milan was robbed three times in one trip over a four week period!

French police must be going soft, seriously soft. IIRC, they were known as mean when crossed, and French prisons were deliberately made barely survivable.

Oh, I remember! Rails were installed on all French police station stairways, which reduced the number of suspects falling down the stairs (sometimes repeatedly).

I have been to Paris twice and both times had a wonderful time. During my first trip in 1972 I did find some Frenchmen not having anything good to say about Americans. However, I speak French and that changed everything. I had some fun conversations in local bistros and found the French to be warm and welcoming. My second trip in 2006 was also enjoyable and I found that far more ordinary people spoke quite good English, however speaking reasonably good French opens lots of doors.

On occasion I run across French speaking tourists in this country. I feel sorry for them as many Americans treat them very poorly and very few Americans have any reasonable knowledge of any foreign language let alone French. I go out of my way to speak to them in French and make them feel welcome in my country.

All European cities have been injected with tens of millions of Third worlders. Most of the cities in England now have non-British majorities. This is all deliberate policy by the Globalists to dilute and displace the native European populations and replace them with a people unable and unwilling to resist their planned demolition of Western Civilization.
