Many thanks for featuring my post about the pickpockets on the metro. It’s always good for visitors and residents to remember that Paris is a large city where it’s best to take certain precautions while enjoying the beautiful sites.

Thanks again for linking to my blog!
Hope to see you at another bloggers’ get-together!
