You give good advice. I was in a famous French department store in a crowded elevator and an older gentleman got in with a knapsack that was open, which I thought was strange but didn't really focus on it until I saw him repeatedly moving around in the elevator. He made one young woman so uncomfortable, she got off. He then got right next to a young couple with a Chanel shopping 🛍 bag and slowly started bending sideways towards the shopping bag to steal something. I was behind all of them and just reacted (not snart) and grabbed the man's arm and told the couple he was about to steal from them. The man started yelling at me in French and the couple thanked me.

[@JaniceInFrance]

It may not have been smart but you certainly were very nice to that couple and letting them know. I would’ve done the same thing

JANICE! That was so delightful - and I think it's because YOU yourself are delightful! MERCI BIEN ! ♥

[@JaniceInFrance]

Wow, thank you!

Bonjour Janice, This video on safety tips is so very helpful and direct. Very good. I just wanted to add one more tip, especially if your are visiting along the Seine or up in Montmartre. There are many cute trams powered by bicycles. They offer rides and your feet are Soo weary. Be Aware! Even when you ask what their price is and they say 20-40€ that’s only half the price. After your ride the price will be double even if they assured you it was only the one price. Price is always double what they quoted you. Don’t be scammed. We were unaware of this particular scam and were so very weary in the moment. Just be aware before you get in the trolley of the price you will be paying . Thank You Janice so very much for sharing all aspects of your wonderful adventure.

[@JaniceInFrance]

Oh wow that is a good one! Thank you for sharing!

[@jacqueline8559]

Confirm the price before accepting the ride. Refuse to pay, if they increase it. Say you're now calling the Police, and get onto your phone. Pay the original ,quoted price. Say it's this or nothing. Then walk away. The driver will make a scene, but is hardly likely to call the Police himself ! ( I don't live in Paris, but France)

Thanks for the great tips to stay safe .When we visited Paris, I sewed pockets on the inside of our pants . We had to reach in the top of our pants . Very hard to get things out of , but that was the point . Your right Janice , when we were in Paris there were lots of pick pockets and gypsies with surveys . It's a little scary because your in a foreign country and don't know how things work . We did have a wonderful time and survived without any problems .

[@JaniceInFrance]

I’m glad to hear it

[@JaniceInFrance]

Thank you

[@jouffroy47]

Very apt--thanks for sharing. The touristy areas, train stations, metro, around the airport really are the worst, even around the turn-styles going to the airport. You do not want to look like a tourist either. Also be careful wearing a backpack style purse.

[@JaniceInFrance]

Yes I wear mine backwards

[@joannecirincione3896]

This video couldn’t have come at a better time. My friend and I will be arriving in Paris in 18 days. Thanks so much for this wonderful information. I so appreciate it and these are great tips.

[@JaniceInFrance]

Let me know if you have time for a cup of coffee.

[@joannecirincione3896]

Oh my. That would be awesome. We would love to meet for coffee. I will let you know when we have are settled. We are arriving on the 19th very early. Will be in Paris for two days before heading to Limoge for a few days. Then back to Paris for a Rick Steve tour for a week in Paris. We will have lots of free time to meet.

Awesome safety tips

[@nancygage7679]

This is a great list of things to be wary of. And everything you’re warning about is true when traveling anywhere. The item I’m most protective of is my passport. The only thing I would add to your list is be especially cautious when coming out of a place where currency is exchanged. The tip I give my friends is to not carry a designer handbag; a pickpocket will not want it as bad. Bon voyage!

[@JaniceInFrance]

Very good tip and leave big diamond wedding rings at home!

[@JaniceInFrance]

Number one I never use those currency exchange places. I always use an ATM and go inside the bank.

Hi, dear Janice. Can't find everything in order to.post at the right time, but here goes: so excited to tell you I heard now for the first time from my American-gal acquaintance in Paris: met her here briefly in Arizona 4 months ago : she was presenting re her life as a missionary in Paris; she's young, I was pumped (at my age! 81!)up, and soon after I sent her some of my art work to Paris, tho my Church here would not consider me as working for them... I tried selling myself to Kathy with art she could maybe use there in Paris (my art is kind of conceptual sometimes)... now she's saying maybe i could join her team! (Whatever!) Love you, thinking of you so often, it's me Paula (presently undergoing demolition from hailstorm at this Mexican border! At age 81!)

[@JaniceInFrance]

Oh goodness I heard about that I’m so sorry about that. Weather is horrible isn’t it

[@judithclark2823]

Very informative and good tips, Janice. Thanks! Do people smoke on the trains and inside the airport? That would be a problem for me. I still think you are very brave and adventurous as a woman alone. Don’t think I could do it🙃

[@JaniceInFrance]

Yes you could Judith if that’s what you wanted to do darling. No they don’t smoke in the airport or on trains are in the train station

Bonjour Janice

[@paulfranchandyman]

Hi Janice. I really enjoy your videos and commentaries. My husband and I will be moving to France next year. At the moment, we are torn on whether to settle in coastal Normandy or near Fontainebleau. My question is why did you specifically select Fontainebleau, and not one of the surrounding towns, such as Melun, Avon, or Moret sur Loing? Does it feel safer, cleaner, or more appealing in some way? Your opinion would be appreciated. To help us make an informed decision, we have spent the entire month of April in Normandy, and will spend all of May in Fontainebleau. Our hope is that we will have a better feeling about each of these areas, after spending a good chunk of time in each. Thank you for your response and help.

[@JaniceInFrance]

I believe, answered your husbands questions this morning, when he texted me in WhatsApp

[@randall8379]

I find the Paris Metro confusing. In London there are a lot of employees to help but last time in Paris there were none anywhere.

[@JaniceInFrance]

Well, I have to tell you I find the same in London. That’s more confusing than I do in Paris. In fact, when we go to London, my daughters, the one that does all the navigating lol.

[@randall8379]

@@JaniceInFrance Don't know why. There are a lot of London Transport employees to help.

[@JaniceInFrance]

@@randall8379 it isn’t that it’s just it just I don’t understand the Baker line and all that which my daughter does

[@TitaNaBusy]

Hi Ms Janice, thank you so much for a very informative video. Just want to know if the metro still open around 11pm? As i will be arriving at paris orly around 10.30pm? Been thinkinh if i can just stay in tge airpory and wait til morning there to take public transportation rather than taking taxi at night. Thanks in advance.

[@JaniceInFrance]

Well, it wouldn’t bother me to take a taxi at night, but I wouldn’t want to tackle the metro at that time of night especially if it’s a weekend and especially if it’s your first time.

[@TitaNaBusy]

@@JaniceInFrance oh, so taking taxi even if im alone is the good idea? or can i just ask if staying at the airport for a while should be fine or prohibited in paris?

[@JaniceInFrance]

@@TitaNaBusy do either one, but I would trust a taxi any day

[@TitaNaBusy]

@@JaniceInFrance do you have any idea how much is the taxi during the night from paris orly to the eiffel tower?

[@JaniceInFrance]

@@TitaNaBusy you can do either one. Are you staying in a hotel? If you are in a hotel it would just be best to get a taxi and go to your hotel. But don’t do anything if you feel uncomfortable

[@alkante2962]

Not a bad restaurant in France ? You're kidding! Lots of bad restaurants. Actually, it is very hard to find a good restaurant nowadays. You have to read tones of guide books and listen to France-Culture and France-inter cuisine programs. C'est meilleur quand c'est bon with Emmanuelle Jary is also interesting.

[@JaniceInFrance]

I appreciate your comment but as I’ve always said to everyone, my experience is all I can give you any of my experience. I have never had a bad restaurant now you can go to all the reviews and etc. etc. and they can give you what they want but in my opinion, I have never had a bad restaurant and that’s all I can go by.

[@alkante2962]

@@JaniceInFrance The average quality at best, the sauces in powder, the non organic products, the common species presented as gastronomic while you can cook them better at home on a short budget, the mixes not gastronomic at all, the products right out of the freezer instead of being fresh, the products out of their season of production, standardized vegetables and fruits, etc. All practices used commonly on the largest scale. To find a true authentic restaurant, you have to wake up early!!

[@jacqueline8559]

​​@@alkante2962 I live in France and , even in the smallest family Bistro, in the smallest Town, we have found only great food, both in taste and presentation. Food has only been fresh and seasonal. Also, with weekly shopping, we find great quality .So long as we shop in Farmers markets, which are better than Supermarkets .After 12 years here, we've experienced only 1 poor Restaurant. I'm sure that, in any City, there are good and bad Restaurants. The ones, frequented by locals, are cheaper and better. Touristy places are more likely to be very expensive and of lesser quality. If you hate Parisian food so much, don't go!! If you're American , what do YOU know about good food?? 😂😂😂

[@Florence3121]

You forgot the sexual harassment from creepy men who won’t take no for an answer; it’s unlike anything I have experienced in the 5 other countries I have lived in (Belgium. UK, Hungary, Russia and the US). Also, if anything happens to you, you are on your own because no one will budge to help you. My experience after +8 years in France.

[@JaniceInFrance]

Well, Florence, I don’t know I maybe it’s just my attitude, my age, age, or what but I have never experienced creepy men. I’ve also never experienced anyone not willing to help either.
