My main concern is I'd be travelling back and forth on the subway (Metro?) out Nanterre (I think). When you are on a subway you have limited options.

A lot of this is just a combination of paranoia combined with the oppertunity to pick other people's brains in "what if" scenerios. I feel the threat level is only moderate, but worth thinking/talking about. I mentioned earlier that in Russia, the UAE, Africa, South America and the Philipines I'll have bodyguards. I speak enough German to get by in Germany. France is the only place with much civil unrest that I'll be on my own.

Thanks for everyone's replies!
