Exercise increased caution

Overview

There are more significant safety or security concerns in France than you would usually find in New Zealand. France’s terrorism alert warning is currently at its highest level. You can expect to see an increased security presence across the country.

Other things that New Zealanders travelling or living in France should be aware of are:

  • Civil unrest - demonstrations and protests are common and can disrupt travel plans.
  • Crime - watch out for petty crime, such as theft, pickpocketing and mobile phone snatching, especially in urban centres, tourist areas, and on public transport.
  • Credit card fraud - take extra care when paying with your credit card or using ATMs.
