Jesus and Francis are having a party in their Honda Accord? How come Francis got invited and I didn't? Pourquoi? Pourquoi?!!

I might go to Paris soon for tourism. Other than the things that have already been said in this forum, what else can I do to improve my safety? I plan to go to some public places, good restaurants, and somehow get by on my very limited French.

To be frank, I don't feel particularly worried -- usually after a terrorist incident, the police intensifies surveillance, and that means it's probably safer. It'll probably be okay.

Thanks to the moderators for keeping peace here and for keeping us on track! Much appreciated!
