Safety Bon6735

To spend a quite calm and safe stay don’t tempt fate or pickpockets! Have your wits about you in order to avoid any unpleasant surprises: don’t keep wallets in your back trouser pocket, keep bags safely closed, make sure you don’t leave your mobile phones lying around. Be wary if you are approached by individuals offering their services, choose instead to visit the official sales point. Find here all safety advice, the list of police stations and the “Préfecture de Police”.
