On Friday, November 13, 2015, the one city most humans associate with beauty, art, culture, and the overall enjoyment of life, became once again the target of ruthless violence. This second attack on Paris in 2015 followed similarly senseless and random attacks on a Russian airliner, on a Tunisian beach, in a Beirut neighborhood, and in a hotel in Mali. And it preceded an attack on Health Department workers in San Bernardino, California.

For tourists or natives, developed or developing nations, cities or villages, the possibility of a terrorist attack is remote but real. Since the Paris attack on November 13, France has taken significant steps to increase security for citizens and visitors. According to a survey made by the Business Travel Coalition, "Some 20% of survey participants are likely to cancel travel to France and within Europe for some period of time".

The French government passed a bill to create a three-month state of emergency to deal with the immediate impact of the attacks. Additional security forces are at major transit, cultural, and official sites throughout Paris. Systematic border control checks have been implemented at all entry points into France. During the Paris Climate Conference in November and December, 40,000 attendees worked, dined, and travelled safely in Paris. All of the tourist sites, museums, neighborhoods, and parks that 83,000,000 people visit annually are open and operating normally. The Paris Metro and all other transit systems are operating normally.

The current world situation does require some additional caution for people whether they are at home or travelling. Travellers should always be aware of their circumstances and be vigilante for anything out of the ordinary. If something does not look, sound, or seem normal, a police officer or other official should be alerted. While in a foreign country such as France, visitors should always carry their passports and check local media for the latest news and information.

First-time travellers to Paris might want to consider an individual local guide or small city tour. It's a great way to customize the experience, avoid crowds, see how the locals live, and learn more about the "City of Light" and it's people.

One such option is [Midnight In Paris On Wheels](http://www.midnightinparisonwheels.com/fr/tourists-safety-in-paris-is-the-number-one-priority-for-travel-professionals/). The wheels in this case are on the iconic Citroen 2CV. This is the car that is to driving what the croissant is to baking and Monet is to painting. Pure French style!

Tour guide, Nicholas Manac'h navigates the boulevards and back streets of Paris as his passengers gaze out of the 2CV's moon roof at the stars, bridges, monuments and architecture of Paris. He'll describe all the familiar sites in exquisite detail and reveal special places that residents love and tourists rarely see.
