About Landscape

France Security Overview

Crime poses a threat to foreign nationals and is concentrated in heavily populated areas, especially those catering to tourists. Thieves typically target passports, wallets, bags, and electronic devices. These opportunistic crimes can occur anywhere, but especially near major tourist attractions and on public transport. High net worth VIPs have been targeted to/from the airport, as well as at hotels and residences.

The threat of terrorism in France is high. France continues to be the target of Islamic State (IS) attacks, and the country must be considered a potential target. A number of attacks attributed to radical Islamist militants have occurred; these have taken the form of large-scale, coordinated violence against symbolic and soft targets, as well as lone-wolf attacks on civilians and government personnel. Despite ongoing counterterrorism efforts, further plots cannot be ruled out.

Protests occur often in France and occasionally devolve into violence. Most demonstrations are related to economic conditions and social issues. Large protests are most common in Paris and other major cities, and typically cause significant transportation delays.

Security at the Olympics (Paris 2024) is a key consideration for many.

FAQ’s for Secure Travel to France

Is Business Travel Safe in France?2023-04-11T07:13:24-04:00

Yes, business travel in France is usually quite safe but, with pre-travel planning and preparation.  Foreign travelers are vulnerable to opportunistic crime, especially in Paris where pickpocketing and theft are extremely common.  Low-level criminals will target public transportation and areas where foreign travelers usually visit.

Business travelers typically request a security trained driver and vehicle for movements in Paris, including airport transfers.

Can security be armed in France?2020-09-21T09:21:05-04:00
Yes, private security can be armed in France. Executive Protection officers and uniformed static security officers can be armed when deployed.  However, quite often a low-profile team of security experts will be sufficient and commensurate with risk.  
Can Armored Vehicles be used in France?2020-09-21T09:19:34-04:00

Yes, you can legally use armored vehicles in France, although they are uncommon, primarily because the risk does not require this level of protection.  Here is an article about Armored Vehicle considerations and ratings
