How I got pick pocketed in Paris
Pickpocketing in Paris can happen to anyone, even Antoine, who grew up here. In this short video we share how it happened and the simple habit we now follow every day so there is nothing for a thief to take. If you are visiting Paris and worried about your phone or wallet, this one is for you.
What we learned
It happens fast. It happens to people who live here. And it may happen to you if you are not paying attention, especially in crowded places where you are distracted by the sights.
How we carry our things now
- Wear a sling or crossbody bag, zipped and worn in front of you.
- Put everything valuable inside that bag.
- Keep nothing in your pockets, so there is nothing to steal.
These are the anti-theft crossbody bags we recommend. For more safety tips and everything else you need to plan your stay, take a look at our Paris Guide Bundle.
