I just checked with a friend of mine who is living in Paris down town actually not that far from the Eiffel tower quarter. She confirmed that there is no real problem in Paris down-town. You can easily understand that if there is one place secured in France it is going to be Paris down town, particularly near famous monuments. So no need to worry for right now. I will repeat it again, from a US media stand point it may look like the entire France is under riots. THAT IS NOT the case. It was the same thing with European medias after hurricane Katrina and the federal response to it. The fact of the matter is that, if you only have one side of the news it will be deformed. The only way to have a fair understanding of what is happenning on each side of the atlantic is to have access to both medias and make your own opinion like I do. Sade but true.
