But all the touristic places: Opera, Lafayette Galery or Printemps, Trocadero, etc. are concerned. For sure, tourists are their favourite victims. Paris hustlers are used to work in pairs. Their favourite tactics: a well-dressed person starts speaking English to you, for instance, asking how to get to some place. While you are answering, his partner works over your pockets or bag. Be careful. Be aware that according to French law children under 13 are not liable to criminal prosecution, so unfortunately teenagers often do this \u201cbusiness\u201d practically with impunity. <\/p>\n<p>Be especially  careful with: using your smartphone standing near the RER or subway door, girls with \u201ccharity\u201d clipboards to sign, ATM distractions, a Paris trademark:  \u201clost precious ring\u201d that a stranger supposes to be yours\u2026  and other well-known common pickpocket\u2019s  tactics. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My last post was about where in Paris it is better to choose a hotel or apartment to rent: &#8220;Good&#8221; and &#8220;bad&#8221;Paris&#8217; districts .
